Abstract

A least squares estimation approach for the estimation of a GARCH (1,1) modelis developed. The asymptotic properties of the estimator are studied given mild regularity conditions, which require only that the error term has a conditionalmomen t of some order. We establish the consistency, asymptotic normality and the law of iterated logarithm for our estimate. The finite sample properties are assessed by means of an extensive simulation study.
