We give the theoretical basis of a possible explanation for two stylized facts observed in long log-return series: the long-range dependence (LRD) in volatility and the integrated GARCH (IGARCH). Both these effects can be explained theoretically if one assumes that the data are nonstationary. ©...

Estimators of regression coefficients are known to be asymptotically normally distributed, provided certain regularity conditions are satisfied. In small samples and if the noise is not normally distributed, this can be a poor guide to the quality of the estimators. The paper addresses this...

In the time series literature one can often find the claim that the periodogram ordinates of an iid sequence at the Fourier frequencies behave like an iid standard exponential sequence. We review some results about functions of these periodogram ordinates, including the convergence of extremes,...

Let be a discrete time moving average process based on i.i.d. symmetric random variables {Zt} with a common distribution function from the domain of normal attraction of a p-stable law (0 p 2). We derive the limit distribution of the normalized periodogram . This generalizes the classical...

In this paper we study the distributional tail behavior of the solution to a linear stochastic differential equation driven by infinite variance [alpha]-stable Lévy motion. We show that the solution is regularly varying with index [alpha]. An important step in the proof is the study of...
