Mar 20, 2016 at 17:00 comment added Taufi No, I was not able to work it out fully. I am not a trained statistician and new in the field of distributions. Nevertheless, I know that $ \sigma^2 = \frac{v}{v-2}$ is the variance of the t-distribution (with $\nu > 2$). So I suppose some algebraic manipulation together with substitutions took place. Actually this is the solution, right?
Mar 20, 2016 at 15:18 comment added whuber Have you worked out what the variance of this distribution is? Bollerslev claims it is $\sigma^2$ (explicitly assuming $\nu \gt 2$)--and that's something you can check. (Although omitting a multiplicative function of $\pi$ is not OK in this definition, it can be taken as a typographical error; and omitting such a function in using a log likelihood to perform maximum likelihood estimation is usually harmless.)
