This paper discusses how to test for conditional symmetry in time seriesregression models. To that end, we utilize the … Bai and Ng test. We also examinethe performance of some popular (unconditional) symmetry tests for observationswhen …

The assumption of conditional symmetry is often invoked to validate adaptive estimation and consistent estimation of … ARCH/GARCH models by quasi maximum likelihood. Imposing conditional symmetry can increase the efficiency of bootstraps if … the symmetry assumption is valid. This paper proposes a procedure for testing conditional symmetry. The proposed test does …
