A Consistent Nonparametric Test for Causality in Quantile



(A.24), we have

J2(Qθ)=O(T-1h-m).                                                       (A.33)

Next, we show that the result of Step 3 in the proof of Theorem (i) holds under the
alternative hypothesis. Since
F(Qθ (Xj ) zj ) - θ ≠ Ofor j = t, s under the alternative
hypothesis, we have

J3(Qθ)-J3(Qθ-CT)

By taking a Taylor expansion of Fyj, (Qθ (Xj ) - Ct | zj ) around Qθ (zj ) for j = t, s, we
have

We further take Taylor expansion of Fyz (Qθ (Xj ) | zj) around Qθ (Zj ) for j = t, s and have

J3(Qθ)-J3(Qθ-CT)
