We investigate the behaviour of S - estimators in the linear regression model, when the error terms are long-memory Gaussian processes. It turns out that under mild regularity conditions S - estimators are still normally distributed with a similar variance - covariance structure as in the i.i.d...

This paper proposes efficient estimators of risk measures in a semiparametric GARCH model defined through moment constraints. Moment constraints are often used to identify and estimate the mean and variance parameters and are however discarded when estimating error quantiles. In order to prevent...

This paper compares conventional GMM estimators to empirical likelihood based GMM estimators which employ a semiparametric efficient estimate of the unknown distribution function of the data. One-step, two-step and bootstrap empirical likelihood and conventional GMM estimators are considered...
