COMMON STOCHASTIC TRENDS AND AGGREGATION IN HETEROGENEOUS PANELS
异质面板中的共同随机趋势与聚合
In nonstationary heterogeneous panels where the number of units is finite and where each unit cointegrates, a large number of conditions needs to be satisfied for cointegration to be preserved in the aggregate relationship. In reality, the conditions most likely will not hold. This paper takes a closer look at what happens when the conditions are violated. In this case, the question of whether an aggregate relationship is observationally equivalent to a cointegrating…
