This paper derives the asymptotic distribution for a number of rank-based and classical residual specification tests in AR-GARCH type models. We consider tests for the null hypotheses of no linear and quadratic serial residual autocorrelation, residual symmetry, and no structural breaks. For...

This paper presents an alternative method to derive the limiting distribution of residual-based statistics. Our method does not impose an explicit assumption of (asymptotic) smoothness of the statistic of interest with respect to the model's parameters and thus is especially useful in cases...

This paper offers an alternative technique to derive the limiting distribution of residual-based statistics or, more general, the limiting distribution of statistics with estimated nuisance parameters. This technique allows us to unify many known results on two-stage estimators and tests and we...

What's the asymptotic null distribution of a rank-based serial autocorrelation test applied to residuals of an estimated GARCH model? What's the limiting distribution of estimated ACD parameters applied to the residuals of some first-stage modelling procedure? This paper addresses the often...
