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(Q_θ (Xj )∣ zj ) - θ ≠ Ofor j = t, s under the alternative
hypothesis, we have

By taking a Taylor expansion of F_yj, (Q_θ (Xj ) - C_t | zj ) around Q_θ (zj ) for j = t, s, we
have

We further take Taylor expansion of F_y∣_z (Q_θ (X_j ) | z_j) around Q_θ (Zj ) for j = t, s and have
