Abstract

This paper considers the trimmed least squares estimator of the autoregression parameter in the unstable AR(1) model: X\ulcorner=ØX\ulcorner+$\varepsilon$\ulcorner, where $\varepsilon$\ulcorner are iid random variables with mean 0 and variance $\sigma$$^2$> 0, and Ø is the real number with │Ø│=1. The trimmed least squares estimator for Ø is defined in analogy of that of Welsh(1987). The limiting distribution of the trimmed least squares estimator is derived under certain regularity conditions.
