In this paper, we show how to use Bayesian approach in the multiplicative heteroscedasticity model proposed by Harvey (1976), where the Gibbs sampler and the Metropolis-Hastings (MH) algorithm are applied. Some candidate-generating densities are considered in our Metropolis-Hastings algorithm. We carry out Monte Carlo study to examine the properties of the estimates via Bayesian approach and its traditional counterpart, i.e., the modified two-step estimator (M2SE), the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) and Harvey's three-step estimator (H3SE). Our results of Monte Carlo study show that candidate-generating densities chosen in our paper are suitable, and Bayesian approach shows better performance than the traditional counterpart in the criterion of the interquartile range and root mean square error.
