TLDR
In this article, necessary and sufficient conditions for the stationarity and ergodicity of the GARCH(l.l) process were established, and it was shown that the IGARCH(1,1) process with no drift converges almost surely to zero.
Abstract
This paper establishes necessary and sufficient conditions for the stationarity and ergodicity of the GARCH(l.l) process. As a special case, it is shown that the IGARCH(1,1) process with no drift converges almost surely to zero, while IGARCH(1,1) with a positive drift is strictly stationary and ergodic. We examine the persistence of shocks to conditional variance in the GARCH(l.l) model, and show that whether these shocks "persist" or not depends crucially on the definition of persistence. We also develop necessary and sufficient conditions for the finiteness of absolute moments of any (including fractional) order.

Conditional heteroskedasticity in asset returns: a new approach

Daniel B. Nelson
- 01 Mar 1991 - 
TL;DR: In this article, an exponential ARCH model is proposed to study volatility changes and the risk premium on the CRSP Value-Weighted Market Index from 1962 to 1987, which is an improvement over the widely-used GARCH model.

ARCH modeling in finance: A review of the theory and empirical evidence

TL;DR: An overview of some of the developments in the formulation of ARCH models and a survey of the numerous empirical applications using financial data can be found in this paper, where several suggestions for future research, including the implementation and tests of competing asset pricing theories, market microstructure models, information transmission mechanisms, dynamic hedging strategies, and pricing of derivative assets, are also discussed.

Quasi-maximum likelihood estimation and inference in dynamic models with time-varying covariances

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the properties of the quasi-maximum likelihood estimator and related test statistics in dynamic models that jointly parameterize conditional means and conditional covariances, when a normal log-likelihood is maximized but the assumption of normality is violated.

A long memory property of stock market returns and a new model

TL;DR: In this paper, a Monte-Carlo analysis of stock market returns was conducted and it was found that not only there is substantially more correlation between absolute returns than returns themselves, but the power transformation of the absolute return also has quite high autocorrelation for long lags.

Autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity with estimates of the variance of United Kingdom inflation

Robert F. Engle
- 01 Jul 1982 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a new class of stochastic processes called autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic (ARCH) processes are introduced, which are mean zero, serially uncorrelated processes with nonconstant variances conditional on the past, but constant unconditional variances.

Generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity

TL;DR: In this paper, a natural generalization of the ARCH (Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedastic) process introduced in 1982 to allow for past conditional variances in the current conditional variance equation is proposed.
