We consider multivariate stationary processes (Xt) satisfying a stochastic recurrence equation of the form Xt=𝕄tXt−1+Qt, where (Qt) are i.i.d. random vectors and 𝕄t=Diag(b1+c1Mt,…,bd+cdMt) are i.i.d. diagonal matrices and (Mt) are i.i.d. random variables. We obtain a full...

This article generalises the results of Sadi and Zakoian (2006) to a considerably larger class of nonlinear ARCH models with discontinuities, leverage e ects and robust news impact curves. We propose a new method of proof for the existence of a strictly stationary and phi-mixing solution....

Invertibility conditions for observation-driven time series models often fail to be guaranteed in empirical applications. As a result, the asymptotic theory of maximum likelihood and quasi-maximum likelihood estimators may be compromised. We derive considerably weaker conditions that can be used...
