We suggest moment estimators for the parameters of a continuous time GARCH(1,1) process based on equally spaced observations. Using the fact that the increments of the COGARCH(1,1) process are ergodic, the resulting estimators are consistent. We investigate the quality of our estimators in a...

In this paper we introduce a fractionally integrated exponential continuous time GARCH(p,d,q) process. It is defined in such a way it is a continuous time extension of the discrete time FIEGARCH(p,d,q) process. We investigate stationarity and moment properties of the new model. It is also shown...

In this paper we introduce an exponential continuous time GARCH(p, q) process. It is defined in such a way that it is a continuous time extension of the discrete time EGARCH(p, q) process. We investigate stationarity and moment properties of the new model. An instantaneous leverage effect can be...

Empirical volatility changes in time and exhibits tails, which are heavier than normal. Moreover, empirical volatility has - sometimes quite substantial - upwards jumps and clusters on high levels. We investigate classical and nonclassical stochastic volatility models with respect to their...
