A score statistic for testing the presence of a stochastic trend in conditional variances

Published in Economics Letters, 2022

Abstract

This article proposes a score test statistic for whether there is a stochastic trend in conditional variances of a GARCH process. We derive its null limiting distribution and demonstrate its properties through simulation and empirical studies.
