Abstract

We provide in this paper asymptotic theory for the multivariate GARCH(p, q) process. Strong consistency of the quasi-maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) is established by appealing to conditions given by Jeantheau (Econometric Theory 14 (1998), 70) in conjunction with a result given by Boussama (Ergodicity, mixing and estimation in GARCH models, Ph.D. Dissertation, University of Paris 7, 1998) concerning the existence of a stationary and ergodic solution to the multivariate GARCH(p, q) process. We prove asymptotic normality of the quasi-MLE when the initial state is either stationary or fixed.
