Beyond the Mean: Limit Theory and Tests for Infinite-Mean Autoregressive Conditional Durations
超越均值:无限均值自回归条件持续期模型的极限理论与检验
Integrated autoregressive conditional duration (ACD) models serve as natural counterparts to the well-known integrated GARCH models used for financial returns. However, despite their resemblance, asymptotic theory for ACD is challenging and also not complete, in particular for integrated ACD. Central challenges arise from the facts that (i) integrated ACD processes imply durations with infinite expectation, and (ii) even in the non-integrated case, conventional asymptotic…
