We generally recommend that you do any formatting for appearance (number of decimals, for instance) in Excel itself.

1. Is there any compelling reason to believe that these series are cointegrated?
2. Is there any compelling reason to believe that these series are cointegrated, with rank one?

If they're not cointegrated, then you are doing a panel version of spurious regressions. If they're cointegrated, but of rank higher than one, then FMOLS (or DOLS, or almost anything else) won't work because there are then an infinite number of different possible cointegrating vectors. I'm not sure I've ever seen a serious piece of econometric work that claimed a single cointegrating vector among 7 I(1) variables.

Hello everyone, Hi Tom.
I am reading about FMOLS and range of cointegration, particularly about this aspect that you mentioned to Saanjev.
Please, can someone recommend me a paper or book chapter that develops the topic of cointegration rank and FMOLS?

Best regards
Ramiro
