Quasi-MLE for quadratic ARCH model with long memory

Abstract: We discuss parametric quasi-maximum likelihood estimation for quadratic ARCH process with long memory introduced in Doukhan et al. (2015) and Grublyt.e and \v{S}karnulis (2015) with conditional variance given by a strictly positive quadratic form of observable stationary sequence. We prove consistency and asymptotic normality of the corresponding QMLE estimates, including the estimate of long memory parameter $0< d < 1/2$. A simulation study of empirical MSE is included.
