We consider stationary time series { X j , j ∈ ℤ } whose finite dimensional distributions are regularly varying with extremal independence. We assume that for each h ≥ 1, conditionally on X0 to exceed a threshold tending to infinity, the conditional distribution of Xh suitably normalized converges weakly to a non degenerate distribution. We consider in this paper the estimation of the normalization and of the limiting distribution.
