Maybe a shot in the dark but I once read a really good paper that showed that large autoregressive effects can cause bias in cross-lagged estimates.
Anyone know who wrote this, or the title of the paper? Google scholar isn't finding it.

Really cool work using penalization to uncover subgroup-specific dynamics in ILD data using VAR.
We have a new preprint!
I'm excited to share recent work related to modeling multiple-subject, multivariate time series.
We extend the multi-VAR framework to allow for data-driven identification and penalized estimation of subgroup-specific dynamics.
