MULTICOINT: Stata module to estimate and test multicointegrated time-series in the sense of Granger-Lee (1989, 1990)

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: Two I(1) flow series are said to be multicointegrated when their cumulated sums - which are I(2) by construction - cointegrate together and with the original flows. In that case there is a "second layer" of long-run equilibrium relating the stock variables to the underlying flow variables, on top of the standard I(1) cointegration y - β x ~ I(0). The classical example (Granger & Lee, 1989) is the production-sales-inventory identity: y_t (production) and x_t (sales) are I(1) and cointegrated; the level of inventories Q_t = Σ(y - x)_s would normally inherit one unit root, but in the presence of multicointegration Q_t (or a linear combination of Q_t and the flows) is stationary. Stock-flow data of housing starts / completions, income / consumption / wealth, and many other systems exhibit this feature (Engsted & Haldrup, 1999).
