Inference in VARs with conditional heteroskedasticity of unknown form

Brüggemann, Ralf; Jentsch, Carsten; Trenkler, Carsten - 2014

We derive a framework for asymptotically valid inference in stable vector autoregressive (VAR) models with conditional … heteroskedasticity of unknown form. We prove a joint central limit theorem for the VAR slope parameter and innovation covariance … parameter estimators and address bootstrap inference as well. Our results are important for correct inference on VAR statistics …
