Backtesting expectile: Disentangling unconditional coverage and independence properties
Under current regulations, financial institutions are required to estimate the daily Value-at-Risk (VaR) or Expected Shortfall (ES) of their trading positions. Despite being widely studied and adopted, both risk measures have theoretical limitations: VaR

Multivariate tests of asset pricing: Simulation evidence from an emerging market [PDF]
The finite sample performance of the Wald, GMM and Likelihood Ratio (LR) tests of multivariate asset pricing tests have been investigated in several studies on the US financial markets. This paper extends this analysis in two important ways.

Testing linear restrictions on cointegrating vectors Sizes and powers of Wald tests in finite samples [PDF]
The Wald test for linear restrictions on cointegrating vectors is compared infinite samples using the Monte Carlo method. The Wald test within the vector error-correction based methods of Bewley et al.

Banding the inverse of a covariance matrix has become a popular technique for estimating a covariance matrix from a limited number of samples. It is of interest to provide criteria to determine if a matrix is bandable, as well as to test the bandedness ...

A Portmanteau Test for Serially Correlated Errors in Fixed Effects Models [PDF]
We propose a portmanteau test for serial correlation of the error term in a fixed effects model. The test is derived as a conditional Lagrange multiplier test, but it also has a straightforward Wald test interpretation.

Adaptive Detection of Range-distributed Targets in Weighted Generalized Inverse Gaussian Clutter
In this paper, we investigate the adaptive detection of range-distributed targets in compound-Gaussian clutter, where the texture component follows a Weighted Generalized Inverse Gaussian (WGIG) distribution.

Sieve Inference on Semi-nonparametric Time Series Models [PDF]
The method of sieves has been widely used in estimating semiparametric and nonparametric models. In this paper, we first provide a general theory on the asymptotic normality of plug-in sieve M estimators of possibly irregular functionals of semi ...

Heteroskedasticity Testing Through Comparison of Wald-Type Statistics [PDF]
A test for heteroskedasticity within the context of classical linear regression can be based on the difference between Wald statistics in heteroskedasticity-robust and nonrobust forms.

Wald Tests of I(1) against I(d) alternatives : some new properties and an extension to processes with trending components [PDF]
This paper analyses the power properties, under fixed alternatives, of a Wald-type test, i.e., the (Efficient) Fractional Dickey-Fuller (EFDF) test of I(1) against I(d ...
