摘要:
Asymptotic properties of the local Whittle estimator in the nonstationary case (d > 1/2) are explored. For 1/2 < d less than or equal to 1, the estimator is shown to be consistent, and its limit distribution and the rate of convergence depend on the value of d. For d = 1, the limit distribution is mixed normal. For d > 1 and when the process has a polynomial trend of order alpha > 1/2, the estimator is shown to be inconsistent and to converge in probability to unity.
