Abstract: This paper proposes a GARCH-type volatility model in which level-and-slope updates of a latent power-law kernel generate state-dependent decay of past shocks within a two-dimensional Markov state. We derive a joint Foster--Lyapunov condition and establish positive Harris recurrence and uniqueness of the invariant distribution. Simulations show substantial low-frequency persistence in log-squared innovations, especially near the diagnostic stability boundary. Empirically, the model captures a substantial portion of observed volatility persistence and delivers competitive out-of-sample forecast accuracy using only a two-dimensional Markov state.
