A generalization of the Exact Local Whittle estimator in Shimotsu and Phillips (2005, Annals of Statistics 33, 1890–1933) is proposed for jointly estimating all the memory parameters in general long memory time series that possibly display standard, seasonal, and/or other cyclical strong persistence. Consistency and asymptotic normality are proven for stationary, nonstationary, and noninvertible series, permitting straightforward standard inference of interesting hypotheses such as the existence of unit roots and equality of memory parameters at some or all seasonal frequencies, which can be used as a prior test for the application of seasonal differencing filters. The effects of unknown deterministic terms are also discussed. Finally, the finite sample performance is analyzed in an extensive Monte Carlo exercise and an application to an U.S. Industrial Production index.

This paper measures the degree of long-memory or long-range dependence in asset returns and volatility of two stock indices in Ghana and Nigeria. The presence of long-memory opens up opportunities for abnormal returns to be made by analyzing price history of a particular market. The authors employ the Hurst exponent to measure the degree of long-memory which is evaluated by a semiparametric method, the Local Whittle estimator. The findings show strong evidence of the presence of long-memory in both returns and volatility of the indices studied, suggesting that neither of the markets in Ghana and Nigeria is weak-form efficient
