Truncated moments of perpetuities and a new central limit theorem for GARCH processes without Kesten's regularity

Abstract

We consider a class of perpetuities which admit direct characterization of asymptotics of the key truncated moment. The class contains perpetuities without polynomial decay of tail probabilities and thus not satisfying Kesten's theorem. We show how to apply this result in deriving a new weak law of large numbers for solutions to stochastic recurrence equations and a new central limit theorem for GARCH(1,1) processes in the critical case.
