We consider semiparametric estimation of the memory parameter in a modelwhich includes as special cases both the long-memory stochasticvolatility (LMSV) and fractionally integrated exponential GARCH(FIEGARCH) models. Under our general model the logarithms of the squaredreturns can be decomposed...

We discuss some of the issues pertaining to modelling and estimating long memory in volatility. Themain focus is on semi parametric estimation of the memory parameter in the long memory stochasticvolatility model. We present the asymptotic properties of the log periodogram regression estimator...

We establish sufficient conditions on durations that are stationary with finite variance and memory parameter d 2 [0; 1=2) to ensure that the corresponding counting process N(t) satisfies VarN(t) raquo; Ct2d+1 (C gt; 0) as t ! 1, with the same memory parameter d 2 [0; 1=2) that was assumed for the...
