This article proposes omnibus specification tests of parametric dynamic quantile models. Contrary to the existing procedures, we allow for a flexible specification, where a possibly continuum of quantiles are simultaneously specified under fairly weak conditions on the serial dependence in the...

This article proposes a test for the Martingale Difference Hypothesis (MDH) using dependence measures related to the characteristic function. The MDH typically has been tested using the sample autocorrelations or in the spectral domain using the periodogram. Tests based on these statistics are...

Accepted for publication in the <I>Journal of Business & Economic Statistics</I>.<P> We consider cointegration rank estimation for a p-dimensional Fractional Vector Error Correction Model. We propose a new two-step procedure which allows testing for further long-run equilibrium relations with possibly...</p></i>

type="main" xml:id="jtsa12091-abs-0001"In this article, we propose a new joint portmanteau test for checking the specification of parametric conditional mean and variance functions of linear and nonlinear time-series models. The use of a joint test is motivated for complete control of the...
