Abstract
In this article we study asymptotic properties of a non‐parametric kernel estimator of the conditional variance in a random design model with parametric mean and heteroscedastic errors, for a class of long‐memory errors and predictors. We establish small and large bandwidths asymptotics, which show a different behaviour compared with that of kernel estimators of the conditional mean. We distinguish between an oracle case (i.e. where the errors are directly observed) and a non‐oracle case (where the errors are replaced with residuals) and show non‐equivalence between the oracle and non‐oracle case. We also discuss a practical problem of bandwidth choice. Theoretical results are justified by simulation studies. We apply our theory to DJA and FTSE indices.
