3. The Limiting Distributions of the Test Statistic
Two existing works are useful in deriving the limiting distribution of the test statistic; one
is Theorem 2.3 of Franke and Mwita (2003) on the uniform convergence rate of the
nonparametric kernel estimator of conditional quantile; another is Lemma 2.1 of Li (1999) on
the asymptotic distribution of a second-order degenerate U-statistic, which is derived from
Theorem 2.1 of Fan and Li (1999). We restate these results in lemmas below for ease of
reference.
Lemma 1 (Franke and Mwita) Suppose Conditions (A1)(v)-(vii) and (A2)(iii) of Appendix
hold. The bandwidth sequence is such that a= o(1) and S%T= Tap(sTlogT)-1 →∞ for
some sT →∞. Let ST=a2+S%T-1/2. Then for the nonparametric kernel estimator of
conditional quantile of Qθ(xt)of equation (9), we have
sup Q (x)- qθ (x)∣=O (Sτ )+OI ɪ I as

Lemma 2 (Li / Fan and Li) Let Lt= (εt,zt)T be a strictly stationary process that
satisfies the condition (A1)(i)-(iv) of Appendix, εt ∈ R and zt ∈ Rm, K(∙) be the kernel
function with h being the smoothing parameter that satisfies the condition (A2)(i)-(ii) of
Appendix. Define
σl(z) = E[εt2 | zt = z] and (14)
