Although various theoretical and applied papers have appeared in recent years concerned with the estimation and use of regression models with stochastically varying coefficients, little is available in the literature on the properties of the proposed estimators or the identifiability of the parameters of such models. The present paper derives sufficient conditions under which the maximum likelihood estimator is consistent and asymptotically normal and also provides sufficient conditions for the estimation of regression models with stationary stochastically varying coefficients. In many instances these requirements are found to have simple, intuitively appealing interpretations. Consistency and asymptotic normality is also proven for a two-step estimator and a method suggested by Rosenberg for generating initial estimates.
