xtwest is for use with panel data. You must tsset your data before using xtwest; see help tsset.
Description
xtwest implements the four panel cointegration tests developed by Westerlund (2007). The underlying idea
is to test for the absence of cointegration by determining whether there exists error correction for
individual panel members or for the panel as a whole. Consider following error correction model, where
all variables in levels are assumed to be I(1):
D.y_it = c_i + a_i1*D.y_it-1 + a_i2*D.y_it-2 + ... + a_ip*D.y_it-p
+ b_i0*D.x_it + b_i1*D.x_it-1 + ... + b_ip*D.x_it-p
+ a_i(y_it-1 - b_i*x_it-1) + u_it
a_i provides an estimate of the speed of error-correction towards the long run equilibrium
y_it = - (b_i/a_i) * x_it for that series i. The Ga and Gt test statistics test H0: a_i = 0 for all i
versus H1: a_i < 0 for at least one i. These statistics start from a weighted average of the individualy
estimated a_i's and their t-ratio's respectively. The Pa and Pt test statistics pool information over all
the cross-sectional units to test H0: a_i = 0 for all i vs H1: a_i < 0 for all i. Rejection of H0 should
therefore be taken as rejection of cointegration for the panel as a whole.
The tests are very flexible and allow for an almost completely heterogeneous specification of both the
long- and short-run parts of the error correction model, where the latter can be determined from the data.
The series are allowed to be of unequal length.
If the cross sectional units are suspected to be correlated, robust critical values can be obtained
through bootstrapping.

Options
lags(# [#]) If one number is specified, it determines a fixed number of lags pi to be included in the
error correction equations. f two numbers are specified the Akaike information criterion is used to
determine an optimal lag length pi for each separate time series, within the given limits.
leads(# [#]) Similar to the option lags it determines the number of leads to be included in the error
correction equations.
lrwindow(#) Sets the width of the Bartlett kernel window used in the semi-parametric estimation of long
run variances.
constant When given, a constant is added to the cointegration relationship. trend Allows for a
deterministic trend in the cointegration relationship.
trend Allows for a deterministic trend in the cointegration relationship.
bootstrap(#) This option shows bootstrapped p-values for all four test statistics. These are robust in
the presence of common factors in the time series. The argument determines the number of bootstrap
replications. On Stata/IC the number of replications must be smaller than 800.
westerlund This option is used only to replicate the tables in Westerlund (2007).
noisily With this option xtwest shows the regressions for the separate series. If a range of lags or
leads is given, only the regression chosen by the AIC is shown.
