Abstract

This paper investigates the so-called one-step local quasi–maximum likelihood estimator for the unit root process with GARCH(1,1) errors. When the scaled conditional errors (the ratio of the disturbance to the conditional standard deviation) follow a symmetric distribution, the asymptotic distribution of the estimated unit root is derived only under the second-order moment condition. It is shown that this distribution is a functional of a bivariate Brownian motion as in Ling and Li (1998, Annals of Statistics 26, 84–125) and can be used to construct the unit root test.The authors thank the co-editor, Bruce Hansen, and two referees for very helpful comments and suggestions. W.K. Li's research is partially supported by the Hong Kong Research Grants Council. Ling's research is supported by RGC Competitive Earmarked Research grant HKUST6113/02P.
