The asymptotic theory for the sample autocorrelations and extremes
of a GARCH (1, 1) process is provided. Special attention is given to the case
when the sum of the ARCH and GARCH parameters is close to 1, that is, when one
is close to an infinite variance marginal distribution. This situation has been
observed for various financial log-return series and led to the introduction of
the IGARCH model. In such a situation, the sample autocorrelations are
unreliable estimators of their deterministic counterparts for the time series
and its absolute values, and the sample autocorrelations of the squared time
series have nondegenerate limit distributions. We discuss the consequences for
a foreign exchange rate series.
