Abstract: Gaussian quasi-likelihood estimation of the parameter $heta$ in the square-root diffusion process is studied under high frequency sampling. Different from the previous study of Overbeck and Ryd'{e}n(1998) under low-frequency sampling, high-frequency of data provides very simple form of the asymptotic covariance matrix. Through easy-to-compute preliminary contrast functions, a practical two-stage manner without numerical optimization is formulated in order to conduct not only an asymptotically efficient estimation of the drift parameters, but also high-precision estimator of the diffusion parameter. Simulation experiments are given to illustrate the results.
