We develop order T−1 asymptotic expansions for the quasi-maximum likelihood estimator (QMLE) and a two-step approximate QMLE in the GARCH(l,l) model. We calculate the approximate mean and skewness and, hence, the Edgeworth-B distribution function. We suggest several methods of bias reduction based on these approximations.

Abstract This paper studies the quasi-maximum likelihood estimator (QMLE) for the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic (GARCH) model based on the Laplace (1,1) residuals. The QMLE is proposed to the parameter vector of the GARCH model with the Laplace (1,1) firstly. Under some certain conditions, the strong consistency and asymptotic normality of QMLE are then established. In what follows, a real example with Laplace and normal distribution is analyzed to evaluate the performance of the QMLE and some comparison results on the performance are given. In the end the proofs of some theorem are presented.
