Abstract

For a first-order autoregressive process Yt = βYt−1 + [formula omitted]t where the [formula omitted]t'S are i.i.d. and belong to the domain of attraction of a stable law, the strong consistency of the ordinary least-squares estimator bn of β is obtained for β = 1, and the limiting distribution of bn is established as a functional of a Lévy process. Generalizations to seasonal difference models are also considered. These results are useful in testing for the presence of unit roots when the [formula omitted]t'S are heavy-tailed. © 1989, Cambridge University Press. All rights reserved.
