Testing the Nullity of Coefficients of a GARCH Model with Exogenously-Driven Volatility

RR-FiME-11-08 Nazim Regnard This paper establishes the asymptotic properties of the quasi-maximum likelihood estimator (QMLE) of a GARCH(1,1) process with time-varying cofficients driven by an exogenous variable, when some true ...
