This paper provides a general methodology for testing for dependence in time series data, with particular emphasis given to non-Gaussian data. A dynamic model is postulated for a continuous latent variable and the dynamic structure transferred to the non-Gaussian, possibly discrete,...

In this essay, we test the presence of the contagion phenomenon during the US sub-prime crisis. We adopt the test of adjusted correlation coefficients between markets and propose a new procedure which involves testing the non-linearity of the propagation mechanisms shocks, estimated with a model...

The main objective of this study is to investigate the rebustness of the popular Durbin-Watson (DW), Langrage multiplier (LM), Box-Pierce (BP) and Ljung-Box (LB) tests and their corrected versions against autoregressive distrurbances in the presence of dynamic heteroscedastic disturbances with...
