ASYMPTOTIC PROPERTIES OF SELF-NORMALIZED LINEAR PROCESSES WITH LONG MEMORY

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  25 November 2011

Abstract

In this paper we study the convergence to fractional Brownian motion for long memory time series having independent innovations with infinite second moment. For the sake of applications we derive the self-normalized version of this theorem. The study is motivated by models arising in economic applications where often the linear processes have long memory, and the innovations have heavy tails.
