sup EFzi kRiT k ≤ sup EFzi kQiTk1{kQiTk >M}.       (39)

Also,

Choose M = N a, where 0 < a < 2. Then, (39) , (40) 0 α.s.. Consequently,
we have (38).

Lemma 15 Suppose that Assumptions 1-8 hold. Let Fz = σ (z1, ..., zN , ...) .
For a generic constant M that is independent of N and T, and for some Fz -
measurable function Mz , the followings hold:

(a) suPi,τ TT Pt (xι,it - Exι,it) °4 M;

(b) suPi,T T Pt (χ2,it - Eχ2,it) ∣∣4 M;

(c) suPi,T 1T Pt (χ3,it - EFziχ3,i0 °F 4 < Mz, a.s.;

(d) suPi,T ° T Pt (χ3,it - EFzi χз,it¢ ∣∣4 M.

Proof

We here use q to denote the real number used in Assumptions 1-6, which is
strictly greater than 1.

Note that

where the first inequality holds by Minkowski’s inequality, the second inequality
holds by Liapunov’s inequality, and the last inequality holds by Assumption 2.
Choose M = κ
