Abstract: We describe the asymptotic behavior of the conditional least squares estimator of the offspring mean for subcritical strongly stationary Galton–Watson processes with regularly varying immigration with tail index α∈(1,2). The limit law is the ratio of two dependent stable random variables with indices α∕2 and 2α∕3, respectively, and it has a continuously differentiable density function. We use point process technique in the proofs.
