A Consistent Nonparametric Test for Causality in Quantile

(A.28)


By combining (A.21), (A.25) and (A.28), we have the result of Step 3

Proof of Theorem 1 (ii)

Since

σ02=2θ2(1-θ)2E{fz(zt)}K2(u)du and

σ^02 2 (i - θ)21кI,

0                 T(T- 1)hm st ts

it is enough to show that

Note that σT2 is a nondegenerate U-statistic of order 2 with kernel

(A.30)


Since Assumption (A2)(iv)-(v) satisfy the conditions of Lemma 2 of Yoshihara (1976) on the
asymptotic equivalence of U-statistic and its projection under
β-mixing, we have for

γ=2(δ-δ') /δ'(2+δ) >0
