We show that the Jarque-Bera test, originally devised for constant conditional variance models with no functional dependence between conditional mean and variance parameters, can be safely applied to a broad class of GARCH-M models, but not to all

We derive computationally simple and intuitive score tests of neglected serial correlation in unobserved component univariate models using frequency domain techniques. In some common situations in which the alternative model information matrix is singular under the null, we derive one-sided...
