Abstract
Monte Carlo evidence is provided as to the efficiency of the impulse saturation estimator in a location-scale model with heavy-tailed distributions. Comparisons show that the IS estimator is always more efficient than the OLS and can even outperform the Method of Moments estimator in some instances.nonnormality; impulse saturation; robust estimation
