An interesting methodological question, I will explore. Eviews allows VECM 
(vector error correction model) estimation with exogenous variables along with 
Johansen cointegartion tests with normalizing equation. I had a quick look at 
the Eviews user manual, didn't find anything substantial yet to response your 
question. Thanks.

Curious to know how Eviews incorporates the exogenous regressors because such an 
introduction affects the distribution of the rank test statistics unless they 
are I(0) AND introduced in a specific fashion. See
ANDERS RAHBEK and ROCCO MOSCONI, Cointegration rank inference with stationary 
regressors in VAR models, Econometrics Journal (1999), volume 2, pp. 76-91.

This may not be relevant for Stata users, but the problem you described is easy 
to handle in other packages. For example, Eviews has an option to include 
exogenous variables in cointegrating model. If you do not mind sharing your 
data, I can attempt to estimate it for you in Eviews.

i get your point. but i'm working with monthly weather measures, not long-term 
climate trends. i think it's safe to say that monthly heating-degree days and 
precipitation events are exogenous to today's fuel and electricity prices.

exogenous or not, they are I(0) and therefore not part of the cointegrating 
relationship. how should I take them into the model? any idea?
