Can I make a brief comment on this debate.  A residual based test for
cointegration is base on the residuals from a cointegrating regression.
Depending on whether the variables in the cointegrating regression have non
zero drifts on should include a constants or a trend in the cointegration.
If this is done properly there is no need to include a constant or a trend
in the cointegrating regression.  The ADF statistic may, however, depend to
some extent on the inclusion of a constant or a trend in the original
cointegrating regression.  Can I recommend the account in Hayashi , F
(2000), Econometrics, Princeton University Press.

 Yes, maybe there could be a possibility to include seasonal dummies too?
 Now this is possibile but ADF test is done for them too with, off course,
 wrong results.
