AW: AW: fUnitRoots failing with urca import due to BIC

[Pfaff, Bernhard Dr.]

Hello Dirk:

when I am back home, I will check my old emails and see whether I have not deleted BDR's email (which would come close to committing a sacrilege) and see if the email contains a pointer with respect to fUnitRoots. IIRC, this was the case. 

Best,
Bernhard
