Abstract
Testing for the autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (ARCH) effect is an important problem in economic and financial time series. In this article, we consider the ARCH effect test for high-dimensional time series. Our test statistic is built based on the maximum element of Spearman’s rank correlation at different lags. The bootstrap methods are used to approximate the null distribution of the proposed test statistics. We also consider the goodness-of-fit test for ARCH models by applying the test to the residuals of fitted models. Simulation results show that the proposed test statistics enjoy good properties of size in finite samples. Compared to the existing methods, the new test possesses much better power. Moreover, the test is not sensitive to the underlying distribution of the time series. The proposed method is illustrated via two real data.
