Bootstrap methods for autocorrelation test with uncorrelated but not independent errors

Mantalos, Panagiotis LU and Shukur, Ghazi (2008) In Economic Modelling 25(5). p.1040-1050
Abstract
By using bootstrap technique we investigate the properties of the Breusch [Breusch, T.S., 1978. Testing for autocorrelation in dynamic linear models. Australian Economic Papers 17, 334-355]-Godfrey [Godfrey, L.G., 1978. Testing for higher order serial correlation in regression equations when the regressors include lagged dependent variables. Econometrica 46, 1303-1310] autocorrelation tests in dynamic models with uncorrelated but not independent errors. In this paper we show that, under conditions when the errors are uncorrelated but not independent, even the best likelihood ratio test cannot achieve the asymptotic distribution under the null hypothesis of no autocorrelation. Standard bootstrap methods also flail to produce consistent... (More)

In this paper we show that, under conditions when the errors are uncorrelated but not independent, even the best likelihood ratio test cannot achieve the asymptotic distribution under the null hypothesis of no autocorrelation. Standard bootstrap methods also flail to produce consistent results. To overcome this problem we applied several bootstrap testing methods for the same: purpose and found the stationary bootstrap and Wild bootstrap with static model to perform adequately among the other bootstrap methods.
