The power of the Houck's model of asymmetry is examined via bootstrap and Monte Carlo techniques. The results of bootstrap and Monte Carlo simulations indicate that the power of the Houck's test for asymmetry depends on sample size, level of asymmetry and the amount of noise in the data...

The power of the Granger and Lee (1989) model of asymmetry is examined via bootstrap simulation. The results of the bootstrap simulation indicate that the Granger and Lee model has low power in rejecting the hypothesis of symmetric adjustments. The power of the test depends on the bootstrap...
