Abstract:

We consider a semiparametric generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic (S-GARCH) model. For this model, we first estimate the time-varying long run component by the kernel estimator, and then estimate the non-time-varying parameters in short run component by the quasi maximum likelihood estimator (QMLE).We show that the QMLE is asymptotically normal with the parametric convergence rate. Next, we provide a consistent Bayesian information criterion for order selection. Furthermore, we construct a Lagrange multiplier test for linear parameter constraint and a portmanteau test for model checking, and obtain their asymptotic null distributions. Our entire statistical inference procedure works for the non-stationary data with two important features: first, our QMLE and two tests are adaptive to the unknown form of the long run component; second, our QMLE and two tests share the same efficiency and testing power as those in variance target method when the S-GARCH model is stationary.
