چکیده

This paper provides two main new results: the first shows theoretically that large biases and variances can arise when the quasi-maximum likelihood ~QML! estimation method is employed in a simple bivariate structure under the assumption of conditional heteroskedasticity; and the second demonstrates how these analytical theoretical results can be used to improve the finite-sample performance of a test for multivariate autoregressive conditional heteroskedastic ~ARCH! effects, suggesting an alternative to a traditional Bartlett-type correction+ We analyze two models: one proposed in Wong and Li ~1997, Biometrika 84, 111–123! and another proposed by Engle and Kroner ~1995, Econometric Theory 11, 122–150! and Liu and Polasek ~1999, Modelling and Decisions in Economics; 2000, working paper, University of Basel!+ We prove theoretically that a relatively large difference between the intercepts in the two conditional variance equations, which leads to the two series having correspondingly different volatilities in the restricted case, may produce very large variances in some QML estimators in the first model and very severe biases in some QML estimators in the second+ Later we use our bias expressions to propose an LM-type test of multivariate ARCH effects and show through simulations that small-sample improvements are possible, especially in relation to the size, when we bias correct the estimators and use the expected hessian version of the test+

Effects of Outliers on the Identification and Estimation of Garch Models

This paper analyses how outliers affect the identification of conditional heteroscedasticity and the estimation of generalized autoregressive conditionally heteroscedastic (GARCH) models. First, we derive the asymptotic biases of the sample autocorrelations of squared observations generated by stationary processes and show that the properties of some conditional homoscedasticity tests can be di...

Goodness-of-fit tests for multiplicative models with dependent data

Several classical time series models can be written as a regression model of the form Yt = m(Xt) + σ(Xt)εt, where (Xt, Yt), t = 0,±1,±2, . . ., is a bivariate strictly stationary process. Some of those models, such as ARCH or GARCH models, share the property of proportionality of the regression function, m, and the scale function, σ. In this article, we present a procedure to test for this feat...

On Concomitants of Order Statistics from Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern Bivariate Lomax Distribution and its Application in Estimation

‎In this paper‎, ‎we have dealt with the distribution theory of concomitants of order statistics arising from Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern bivariate Lomax distribution‎. ‎We have discussed the estimation of the parameters associated with the distribution of the variable Y of primary interest‎, ‎based on the ranked set sample defined by ordering the marginal observations...

Quasi Maximum-Likelihood Estimation of Dynamic Panel Data Models

This paper establishes the almost sure convergence and asymptotic normality of levels and differenced quasi maximum-likelihood (QML) estimators of dynamic panel data models. The QML estimators are robust with respect to initial conditions, conditional and time-series heteroskedasticity, and misspecification of the log-likelihood. The paper also provides an ECME algorithm for calculating levels ...

Asymptotics and Bootstrap for Random-Effects Panel Data Transformation Models∗

This paper investigates the asymptotic properties of quasi-maximum likelihood (QML) estimators for random-effects panel data transformation models where both the response and (some of) the covariates are subject to transformations for inducing normality, flexible functional form, homoskedasticity, and simple model structure. We develop a QML-type procedure for model estimation and inference. We...
