I don't think that it is posible to fit a BEKK in Stata, i'm not sure if you are familiar with R but with the package MTS
you can fit a BEKK(1,1), it takes some time to run, i would suggest that you consider a CC-GARCH wich can be estimated in Stata and in R with ccgarch
or a DCC that is also posible in both programs
It doesn't make much sense to me to use a BEKK if you were only looking at one time series. From my understanding you would use BEKK's for Multivariate (G)ARCH models. In this case you can use mgarch dvech
or mgarch dcc
. dcc
stands for dynamic conditional correlation. Both of these modeling methods allow for changing conditional correlations.
