Local Whittle estimation of long memory: Standard versus bias-reducing techniques

[EN] Frequency domain semiparametric estimation of memory parameters belongs to the standard toolkit of applied time series researchers. These methods are based on a local approximation of the spectral density, which robustifies the estimation methods against misspecification, but induces a loss wit...
