(B5b)


Assume μ > 1, or otherwise the aggregate system would be indeterminate, then Case

I is not relevant since condition (B1) is violated by assumption. For Case II, condition
(B3) is satisfied
μ > 1. If a > 0.5 then by inspection condition (B4) is automatically
satisfied and either (B5a) or (B5b) is required for determinacy. If a < 0.5 condition (B4)
is automatically satisfied provided
(1-2a)Λα2(2-ʌ2) < 1. Otherwise the following condition
is required: Λ
1(1 + μ) [α(1 2a)(2 Λ2) Λ2] < 2Λ2(1 + β)[1 + 2μ(1 a)]. In addition
either (B5a) or (B5b) is required for determinacy.

Now suppose that the eigenvalue eK is inside the unit circle |eK | < 1, which re-
quires a < 
1—δ [1 - δ 11 C] < 0.5. Determinacy then requires that the remaining three
eigenvalues be outside the unit circle. From the characteristic equation of
ARPI this

implies that r(1) = (μ 1)A1 [1 + α(1 2a)] > 0 given the assumption that μ > 1 and
β

r(0) = μ [2(1 a) ʌɪɑʌ-2^]. This has to be positive r(0) > 0 otherwise there would

be (at least) one stable root, which requires Λ1α(1 2a) > 2(1 a)Λ2 . Therefore if
r(
1) > 0 then the three roots, either real or complex, are outside the unit circle. Since
r(
1) = 2(1+β)4μ(1~а)(1+в)Λ1(μ+1) [1 α(1~ 2^(2-ʌ2 )], then r(1) > 0 provided
α(1
2a)(2 Λ2) > Λ2 andΛ1(1 + μ) [α(1 2a)(2 Λ2) Λ2] > 2Λ2(1+ β)[1 + 2μ(1 a)].

This completes the proof.
