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 />
