Presently, conditions ensuring the validity of bootstrap methods for the sample mean of (possibly heterogeneous) near epoch dependent (NED) functions of mixing processes are unknown. A0501n purpose of this paper is thus to establish the validity of the bootstrap in this context, extending the...

Conditional heteroskedasticity is an important feature of many macroeconomic and financial time series. Standard residual-based bootstrap procedures for dynamic regression models treat the regression error as i.i.d. These procedures are invalid in the presence of conditional heteroskedasticity....

The main contribution of this paper is twofold. First, we derive the consistency and asymptotic normality of the estimated autoregressive sieve parameters when the data are generated by a stationary linear process with martingale difference errors that are possibly subject to conditional...
