Examining unit root properties of macro-economic time series has become a necessary pre-requisite for establishing order of
integration. The study used conventional unit root tests that indicate level stationarity or non-stationarity using annual data for
Pakistan. Perron (1989) and Zivot and Andrews (1991) tests failed to reject unit root hypothesis even after the inclusion of
structural break. Results showed that all variables witnessed the presence of structural break during 1970s. Lumsdaine and Papell
(1997) test results after incorporating multiple structural breaks indicate M3, exports and saving show trend stationarity. The
study concludes that shocks in economy have permanent effect on the long run behaviour of these variables and implications for
economic growth.
