Abstract
Suppose we observe a geometrically ergodic Markov chain with a parametric model for the marginal, but no (further) information about the transition distribution. Then the empirical estimator for a linear functional of the joint law of two successive observations is no longer efficient. We construct an improved estimator and show that it is efficient. The construction is similar to a recent one for bivariate models with parametric marginals. The result applies to discretely observed parametric continuous-time processes.
