Iterated scaling limits for aggregation of random coefficient AR(1) and INAR(1) processes

We discuss joint temporal and contemporaneous aggregation of $N$ independent copies of strictly stationary AR(1) and INteger-valued AutoRegressive processes of order 1 (INAR(1)) with random coefficient $α\in (0, 1)$ and idiosyncratic innovations. Assuming that $α$ has a density function of the form $ψ(x) (1 - x)^β$, $x \in (0, 1)$, with $\lim_{x\uparrow 1} ψ(x) = ψ_1 \in (0, \infty)$, different Brownian limit processes of appropriately centered and scaled aggregated partial sums are shown to exist in case $β=1$ when taking first the limit as $N \to \infty$ and then the time scale $n \to \infty$, or vice versa. This paper completes the one of Pilipauskaitė and Surgailis (2014), and Barczy, Nedényi and Pap (2015), where the iterated limits are given for every other possible value of the parameter $β$ for the two types of models.
