We derive some new results on the expectation of quadratic forms in normal and nonnormal variables. Using a nonstochastic operator, we show that the expectation of the product of an arbitrary number of quadratic forms in noncentral normal variables follows a recurrence formula. This formula...

Phillips (1977a, 1977b) made seminal contributions to time series finite-sample theory, and then, he was among the first to develop the distributions of estimators and forecasts in stationary time series models, see Phillips (1978, 1979), among others. From the mid-eighties Phillips (1987a,...

Econometricians have recently been interested in estimating and testing the mean reversion parameter (κ) in linear diffusion models. It has been documented that the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of κ tends to over estimate the true value. Its asymptotic distribution, on the other...

We derive the approximate results for two standardized measures of deviation from normality, namely, the skewness and excess kurtosis coefficients, for a class of econometric estimators. The results are built on a stochastic expansion of the moment condition used to identify the econometric...

In this note it is shown that the expectation of the usual MLE estimator of the mean-reversion parameter in linear diffusion models does not exist. However, the moment does exist conditionally on the estimator of the autoregressive parameter in the discretized model being positive.

This paper develops the approximate finite-sample bias of the ordinary least squares or quasi max- imum likelihood estimator of the mean reversion parameter in continuous-time Levy processes. For the special case of Gaussian processes, our results reduce to those of Tang and Chen (2009) (when...
