Exponential tightness and the fact that it implies the large deviation principle (LDP) for subsequences are used to prove LDP of average for unbounded additive functionals \(g(\xi_ k)\) of an ergodic Markov process \(\xi_ k\) with real line as its state space. The proof is based on the LDP of empirical measures \({1 \over n} \sum^ n_{k=1} \delta_{ \xi_ k}\), due to Donsker and Varadhan. Examples in Section 3 of the paper apply the main theorem to Markov processes defined by nonlinear recursions. Explicit sufficient growth conditions for \(g (\cdot)\) are given.
