Abstract
This paper investigates several empirical issues regarding quasi- maximum,likelihood estimation of Smooth Transition Autoregressive (STAR) models with GARCH errors, specifically STAR-GARCH and STAR-STGARCH. Convergence, the choice of different algorithms for maximising the likelihood function, and the sensitivity of the estimates to outliers and extreme observations, are examined using daily data for S&P 500, Heng Seng and Nikkei 225 for the period January 1986 to April 2000.
