α: calibrated so average coauthorship-adjusted count equals average raw count
The authors show that, interpreted broadly, the error-correction form is a member of a general class of transformations including those of R. A. Bewley (1979) and G. Bardsen (1989), which give numerically equivalent estimates of long-run multipliers. Whereas the advantage of the Bewley form is well known, the authors point out the advantage of the error-correction form in providing readily interpretable estimates of short-run responses to disequilibrium, without the necessity of prior estimates of cointegrating parameters. They then describe briefly methods of calculating approximate standard errors of the long-run multiplier for the autoregressive-distributed lag form and error-correction form, and show their equivalence.
