Key Points

  • This research aims to introduce and validate a new command for testing cointegration in panel data settings.
  • Developed a new Stata command named xtwest for error-correction tests.
  • Focus on handling heterogeneity in long-run relationships and short-run dynamics.
  • Test applicability across diverse cross-sectional units.
  • The new tests accommodate significant heterogeneity in relationships across panel data.
  • Demonstrated effective performance in detecting cointegration under varied conditions.
  • Increased accuracy compared to existing methods in panel data analysis.

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.
