In this thesis we consider estimation of the tail index for heavy tailed stochastic volatility models with long memory. We prove a central limit theorem for a Hill estimator. In particular, it is shown that neither the rate of convergence nor the asymptotic variance is affected by long memory. The theoretical findings are verified by simulation studies.
