  Holy cow! That's sounds very serious.

  Upon investigation, this paper appear to be neither in Oates profile

http://ideas.repec.org/e/poa3.html

  nor in Sarchirico's profile

http://ideas.repec.org/e/psa58.html

  I don't have evidence yet. For any paper that would establish a
  link, your co-authors have to have claimed it. This was part of the
  reasons for doing CollEc: get authors to ask their co-authors to
  register and maintain their profiles.

> Is there some way to fix it?

  Yes, contact your co-authors to ask them to add the paper
  to their profiles.

  Note that CollEc updates slowly because of the huge amount of
  calculations required; but if you get a new connection you should
  see your ranking increase over the space of about a month. Yes, it
  takes that long.
