QUASI-MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD ESTIMATION OF SEMI-STRONG GARCH MODELS
证明了半强GARCH(1,1)模型中拟极大似然估计量的一致性和渐近正态性,改进了Lee和Hansen(1994)的结果,且不限制条件均值形式。
This note proves the consistency and asymptotic normality of the quasi–maximum likelihood estimator (QMLE) of the parameters of a generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedastic (GARCH) model with martingale difference centered squared innovations. The results are obtained under mild conditions and generalize and improve those in Lee and Hansen (1994, Econometric Theory 10, 29–52) for the local QMLE in semistrong GARCH(1,1) models. In particular, no restrictions on the conditional mean are imposed. Our proofs closely follow those in Francq and Zakoïan (2004, Bernoulli 10, 605–637) for independent and identically distributed innovations.
