Abstract

This paper provides conditions to establish the weak convergence of stochastic integrals. The theorems are proved under the assumption that the innovations are strong mixing with uniformly bounded 2-h moments. Several applications of the results are given, relevant for the theories of estimation with I(1) processes, I(2) processes, processes with nonstationary variances, near-integrated processes, and continuous time approximations.
