Due to stationarity, the common distribution does not depend on $t.$ In fact, it is proved in [9] that the identity is true, under some assumptions, for all recurrent diffusions and stationary processes. In the null recurrent diffusion case the common distribution is not, of course, a probability distribution. The aim of this note is to increase understanding of the identity by studying the RBM($-\mu$) case via Ray--Knight theorems.
