We introduce a nonparametric block bootstrap approach for Quasi-Likelihood Ratio type tests of nonlinear restrictions …. Unlike existing parametric bootstrap procedures for Quasi-Likelihood Ratio type tests, our procedure constructs bootstrap … samples in a fully nonparametric way. We study the higher order properties of our nonparametric block bootstrap and show the …

A test for serial independence is proposed which is related to the BDS test but focuses on tail event probabilities rather than probabilities near the center of the distribution. The motivation behind this approach is to obtain a test more suitable for detecting structure in the tails, such as...

This paper develops methods of inference for nonparametric and semiparametric parameters defined by conditional moment inequalities and/or equalities. The parameters need not be identified. Confidence sets and tests are introduced. The correct uniform asymptotic size of these procedures is...

In this paper we first investigate the validity of a general Value at Risk approach, which is widely used for risk management in banking and insurance companies. We discuss and widely reject the conventional assumptions, e.g. independent identically distributed normal returns, and as consequence...

A non-stationary regression model for financial returns is examined theoretically in this paper. Volatility dynamics are modelled both exogenously and deterministic, captured by a nonparametric curve estimation on equidistant centered returns. We prove consistency and asymptotic normality of a...

This paper deals with nonparametric inference for second order stochastic dominance of two random variables. If their distribution functions are unknown they have to be inferred from observed realizations. Thus, any results on stochastic dominance are influenced by sampling errors. We establish...
