Traditional tests of the white noise hypothesis on the residuals from estimated models can leadto size distortion if some parameters are weakly identified. This paper develops a bootstrappedwhite noise test for serial correlation that is robust to weak identification in the parameters. Weshow...

This paper presents a bootstrapped p-value white noise test based on the maximum correlation, for a time series that may be weakly dependent under the null hypothesis. The time series may be prefiltered residuals. The test statistic is a normalized weighted maximum sample correlation...
