c
Set a=Σ11​, c=Σ12​, and b=Σ22​. The estimator is the sample mean of the independent random vectors
Wi​=(Xi2​,Xi​Yi​,Yi2​)T,EWi​=(a,c,b)T.
(1)
The supplied fourth moments give
Var(X2)Var(XY)​=2a2,=ab+c2,​Cov(X2,XY)Cov(XY,Y2)​=2ac,=2bc,​Cov(X2,Y2)Var(Y2)​=2c2,=2b2.​
(2)
Therefore the multivariate central limit theorem gives
n​​​Σ11​Σ12​Σ22​​​−​acb​​​d​N3​​0,​2a22ac2c2​2acab+c22bc​2c22bc2b2​​​.​
(3)
This is the asymptotic covariance of the bivariate Gaussian covariance estimator.
