Nonnegativety constraints on the parameters of the GARCH (p, Q) model may be relaxed without giving up the requirement of the conditional variance remaining non- negative with probability one. This paper looks into the consequences of adopting these less severe constraints in the GARCH (2,2)...

In this paper, a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of the unconditional fourth moment of the GARCH (p, q) process is given as well as an expression for the moment itself. Furthermore, the autocorrelation function of the centred and squared observations of this process is...

The constant conditional correlation GARCH model is probably the most frequently applied multivariate GARCH model. In this paper we consider an extension to this model and examine its fourth-moment structure. The extension, first considered by Jeantheau (1998), is motivated by the result found...
