In this paper consistency of estimates of linear dynamic systems obtained by using subspace algorithms under quite general assumptions on the innovations are derived. The assumptions include i.a. GARCH type of errors as well as E-GARCH. Also the consistent estimation of the model for the conditional variance is discussed. A small simulation study shows the potential of subspace algorithms in the context of GARCH modelling in comparison with the method implemented in MATLAB.
Keywords: subspace methods, GARCH models, finance, asymptotic properties
