Abstract

We propose an estimator for the maximal moment exponent of a GARCH(1,1) sequence. We establish its consistency asymptotic normality with rate n−1/2. Finite sample properties are investigated by means of a small simulation study.The research for this paper was partially supported by NSF grant INT-0223262.

Piotr Kokoszka and Lajos Horváth were supported by NATO grant PST.CLG.977607.
