In this paper we propose a new multivariate GARCH model with time-varying conditional correlation structure. The approach adopted here is based on the decomposition of the covariances into correlations and standard deviations. The time-varying conditional correlations change smoothly between two...

This paper is concerned with efficient GMM estimation and inference in GARCH models. Sufficient conditions for the estimator to be consistent and asymptotically normal are established for the GARCH(1,1) conditional variance process. In addition efficiency results are obtained in the general...

Estimating a density function over a bounded domain can be very complicated and resulting in an unsatisfactory or unrealistic density estimate. In many cases a one-to-one transformation can be applied to the considered data set, but there are also situations where such a unique transformation...
