  <dc:title>Panel Cointegration Tests Based on Westerlund (2007)</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package Westerlund version 0.1.3</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Implements a functional approximation of the four panel
    cointegration tests developed by Westerlund (2007)
    &lt;doi:10.1111/j.1468-0084.2007.00477.x&gt;. The tests are based on structural
    rather than residual dynamics and allow for heterogeneity in both the
    long-run cointegrating relationship and the short-run dynamics. The package
    includes logic for automated lag and lead selection via AIC/BIC, Bartlett 
    kernel long-run variance estimation, and a bootstrap procedure to handle 
    cross-sectional dependence. It also includes a bootstrapping distribution
    visualization function for diagnostic purposes.</dc:description>
