GARCH estimation and discrete stock prices: an application to low-priced Australian stocks

Amilon, Henrik LU (2003) In Economics Letters 81(2). p.215-222
Abstract
The GARCH model is misspecified if applied to returns calculated from discrete prices. We propose a modification of the above model for handling such cases. We find large differences between the standard and the extended model estimates, although the results sometimes are obscured by large standard errors.
