We propose a direct and convenient reduced-bias estimator of predictive regression coefficients, assuming that the regressors are Gaussian first-order autoregressive with errors that are correlated with the error series of the dependent variable. For the single-regressormodel, Stambaugh (1999)...

We propose a new semiparametric estimator of the degree of persistence in volatility forlong memory stochastic volatility (LMSV) models. The estimator uses the periodogram ofthe log squared returns in a local Whittle criterion which explicitly accounts for the noise term in the LMSV model....

We consider semi parametric estimation of the long-memory parameter of a stationaryprocess in the presence of an additive nonparametric mean function. We use a semi parametric Whittle type estimator, applied to the tapered, differenced series. Since the mean function is not necessarily...

We propose and derive the asymptotic distribution of a tapered narrow-band least squares estimator(NBLSE) of the cointegration parameter Atilde; Acirc; Atilde; Acirc;² in the framework of fractional cointegration.This tapered estimator is invariant to deterministic polynomial trends. In particular,...

We consider the asymptotic behavior of log-periodogram regression estimators ofthe memory parameter in long-memory stochastic volatility models, under the nullhypothesis of short memory in volatility. We show that in this situation, if theperiodogram is computed from the log squared returns,...

We consider semiparametric estimation of the memory parameter in a long memorystochastic volatility model. We study the estimator based on a log periodogramregression as originally proposed by Geweke and Porter-Hudak (1983,Journal of Time Series Analysis 4, 221 238). Expressions for the...
