Abstract

We discuss joint temporal and contemporaneous aggregation of NN independent copies of strictly stationary AR(1) and INteger-valued AutoRegressive processes of order 1 (INAR(1)) with random coefficient α(0,1)\alpha \in (0, 1) and idiosyncratic innovations. Assuming that α\alpha has a density function of the form ψ(x)(1x)β\psi(x) (1 - x)^\beta, x(0,1)x \in (0, 1), with limx1ψ(x)=ψ1(0,)\lim_{x\uparrow 1} \psi(x) = \psi_1 \in (0, \infty), different Brownian limit processes of appropriately centered and scaled aggregated partial sums are shown to exist in case β=1\beta=1 when taking first the limit as NN \to \infty and then the time scale nn \to \infty, or vice versa. This paper completes the one of Pilipauskait\.e and Surgailis (2014), and Barczy, Ned\'enyi and Pap (2015), where the iterated limits are given for every other possible value of the parameter β\beta for the two types of models.
