Abstract: In this paper we give the theoretical basis of a possible explanation for two stylized facts observed in long log-return series: the long range dependence (LRD) in volatility and the integrated GARCH (IGARCH). Both these effects can be theoretically explained if one assumes that the data is non-stationary (changing unconditional variance).
