Penalized Convex Estimation in Dynamic Location Models
ABSTRACT This paper studies L1$$ {L}^1 $$‐penalized estimation for location models yt=mt+ϵt$$ {y}_t={m}_t+{\epsilon}_t $$, where mt$$ {m}_t $$ is defined by a possibly non‐Markovian recursion and ϵt$$ {\epsilon}_t $$ is a martingale difference sequence with possibly time‐varying conditional variance.

Parametric Time‐Variation in the Unconditional Volatility: Estimation and Inference
ABSTRACT We propose modeling time‐variation in the unconditional volatility by augmenting the standard GARCH model by a deterministic time‐varying intercept. The model, called the additive time‐varying (ATV‐)GARCH model, can be interpreted as a reduced form of a model including covariates and can be derived from a multiplicative decomposition of ...
