We study the stationary solution to the recursion Xn+1 = γXn+ξn, where γ ∈ (0, 1) is a constant and ξn are Gaussian variables with random parameters. Specifically, we assume that ξn = μn + σnεn, where (ε)n∈Z is an i.i.d. sequence of standard normal variables and (μn, σn)n∈Z is a stationary and ergodic process independent of (εn)n∈Z, which serves as an exogenous dynamic environment for the model...
