Moment Properties of Hidden Semimartingale Models (HSM) with GARCH Errors

by M. Ghahramani and A. Thavaneswaran.

Abstract: Following Hamilton (1989), in this paper, we propose a semimartingale model with conditional mean of the observed process driven by a semimartingale with volatility driven by a GARCH process. Moment properties of these models including kurtosis are studied in some detail.
