and n = 5000. But the dierences are tiny when n is suciently large, for example<br />
n = 3000 and n = 5000. Thus, the EbE approach does not seem to create a serious bias<br />
problem in the estimation of the dynamic parameters. Figure 5 displays the distribution<br />
of the estimation errors for simulations of length n = 5000. The upper-left, upper-right,<br />
bottom-left and bottom-right panels correspond respectively to the estimation errors for<br />
the parameters involved in vech(Ω), A, diag(B) and C. The distributions of the EbEE<br />
and VTE are quite similar.<br />

5 Conclusion<br />
This paper suggest an eective approach, equation by equation estimation method, for<br />
estimation and inference on the semi-diagonal BEKK included the exogenous variables.<br />
This approach is recently widely used by researchers and practitioners, consisting in estimating<br />
separately the individual volatilities parameters in the rst step, and estimating<br />
