Bartlett correction of the unit root test in autoregressive models

The usual conditions for a Bartlett correction are not fulfilled when testing for a unit root in a Gaussian autoregressive model. However, by expanding the moments of the likelihood ratio statistic it can be shown that the Bartlett correction improves the asymptotic distribution approximation.
