Abstract: xtmulticointgrat tests for multicointegration - a "second layer" of long-run equilibrium - in a balanced panel of N cross-sectional units observed over T periods. A standard cointegrating relationship is y_i,t = c_t α_i + x_i,t β_i + ϑ_i,t with ϑ_i,t I(0). Multicointegration arises when the cumulated equilibrium error S_i,t = Σ ϑ_i,j is itself cointegrated with the original I(1) flows, that is y_i,t = m_t μ_i + S_i,t γ_i + u_i,t with u_i,t I(0). The classical Granger-Lee (1989) production / sales / inventory example is the canonical illustration. When at least two cross-sectional units share common stochastic trends, the test must be modified to account for cross-section dependence; Berenguer-Rico & Carrion-i-Silvestre (2006) adapt the Bai-Ng (2004) PANIC framework for this purpose.
