Abstract

type="main" xml:id="jtsa12089-abs-0001"> We propose a quantile regression-based test to detect the presence of autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity by combining distributional information across multiple quantiles. A chi-square-type test statistic based on the weighted average of distinct regression quantile estimators is formed. Unlike the widely used likelihood-based tests, the proposed test does not make any distributional assumptions on the underlying errors. Monte Carlo simulation studies show that the proposed test outperforms the likelihood-based tests in several aspects.
