Abstract

We study semiparametric time series models with innovations following a log-concave distribution. We propose a general maximum likelihood framework that allows us to estimate simultaneously the parameters of the model and the density of the innovations. This framework can be easily adapted to many well-known models, including autoregressive moving average (ARMA), generalized autoregressive conditionally heteroscedastic (GARCH), and ARMA-GARCH models. Furthermore, we show that the estimator under our new framework is consistent in both ARMA and ARMA-GARCH settings. We demonstrate its finite sample performance via a thorough simulation study and apply it to model the daily log-return of the FTSE 100 index.
