This note argues that large VAR models with common cyclical feature restrictions provide an attractive framework for parsimonious implied univariate final equations, justifying on the one hand the estimation of homogenous panels with dynamic heterogeneity and a common factor structure, and on...

VAR models with common cyclical features imply parsimonious univariate final equations, justifying the use of both time series aggregation, and homogenous panels with common factors and dynamic heterogeneity. However, conducting statistical inferences based on too restrictive models might be...

For non-stationary vector autoregressive models (VAR hereafter, or VAR with moving average, VARMA hereafter), we show that the presence of common cyclical features or cointegration leads to a reduction of the order of the implied univariate autoregressive-moving average (ARIMA hereafter) models....
