Abstract
Abstract. When testing for conditional heteroskedasticity and nonlinearity, the power of the test in general depends on the functional forms of conditional heteroskedasticity and nonlinearity that are allowed under the alternative hypothesis. We suggest a test for conditional heteroskedasticity and nonlinearity with the nonlinear autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity model of Higgins and Bera as the alternative. Standard testing procedures are not applicable since our nonlinear autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH) parameter is not identified under the null hypothesis. To resolve this problem, we apply the procedure recently proposed by Davies. Power and size of the suggested test are investigated through simulation, and an empirical application of testing for ARCH in exchange rates is also discussed.
