Error-correction–based cointegration tests for panel data

Damiaan Persyn and Joakim Westerlund

Stata Journal, 2008, vol. 8, issue 2, 232-241

Abstract: This article describes a new Stata command called xtwest, which implements the four error-correction – based panel cointegration tests developed by Westerlund (2007). The tests are general enough to allow for a large degree of heterogeneity, both in the long-run cointegrating relationship and in the short-run dynamics, and dependence within as well as across the cross-sectional units.
