A Consistent Nonparametric Test for Causality in Quantile



variance σ12(z) is o(1) with i.i.d data. We have

E% [H1T(s,t,Qθ)-H1T(s,t,Qθ-CT)]2

≤ Λ E% { [1t(Qθ) - Ft(Qθ)][1s(Qθ) - Fs(Qθ)]

-[1t(Qθ-CT)-Ft(Qθ-CT)][1s(Qθ-CT)-Fs(Qθ-CT)] }2

≤Λ E%{Ft(Qθ)[1-Ft(Qθ)]Fs(Qθ)[1-Fs(Qθ)]}

+E%{Ft(Qθ-CT)[1-Ft(Qθ-CT)]Fs(Qθ-CT)[1-Fs(Qθ-CT)]}

-2E{ [Ft(min(Qθ,Qθ-CT)-Ft(Qθ)Ft(Qθ-CT)]

×[Fs(min(Qθ,Qθ-CT)-Fs(Qθ)Fs(Qθ-CT)] }

E%{[Ft(Qθ)-Ft(Qθ)Ft(Qθ)][Fs(Qθ)-Fs(Qθ)Fs(Qθ)]}

≤Λ Ct = o (1).                                                       (A.20)

where the last equality holds by the smoothness of conditional distribution function and its

bounded first derivative due to Assumption (A.8). Thus we have

Thm,[ J,( Qθ ) - Jɪ( Qθ - C )] = Op (1)                                  (A.21)
[2]
Thm'2[J2(Qβ)- J2(Qβ -C)] = Op(1):

Noting that H2t (5, t, Qθ ) = 0 because of Fyz (Qθ (xs ) | zs ) - θ = 0, we have

J2(Qθ)-J2(Qθ-CT)
