Popis:	We consider the generalised dynamic factor model (GDFM) and assume that the dynamic common component is purely non-deterministic. We show that then the common shocks (and therefore the dynamic common component) can always be represented in terms of current and past observed variables. Hence, we further generalise existing results on the so called One-Sidedness problem of the GDFM. We may conclude that the existence of a one-sided representation that is causally subordinated to the observed variables is in the very nature of the GDFM and the lack of one-sidedness is an artefact of the chosen representation.
