STATISTICAL INFERENCE FOR NON-STATIONARY GARCH MODELS


venerdì 12 novembre alle ore 12 nell’aula II del Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche dell'Università di Bologna, via Belle Arti 41  40126, Bologna.


Abstract:

Consistency and asymptotic normality is established for the highly applied quasi-maximum likelihood estimator in the GARCH(1,1) model. Contrary to existing literature we allow the parameters to be in the region where no stationary version of the process exists. This has the important implication that the likelihood based estimator for the GARCH parameters is consistent and asymptotically normal in the entire parameter region including both stationary and explosive behavior. In particular, there is no "knife edge result like the unit root case" as hypothesized in Lumsdaine (1996, p.580).
