Notes: The Kokoszka and Leipus (2000) test statistic is defined as Uk =jk=1 rj - T- ɪ 'τTk+1 rj2J. The max UT(k) is
standardized by the VARHAC estimator,
σHAC, which is applied to Xt that represents either squared or absolute returns of the GARCH
model. The normalized statistic
UmaxlσHAC converges to the sup of a Brownian Bridge with asymptotic critical value 1.36 at the 5%
significance level. The Normal GARCH (1,1) model is simulated (1,000 replications) where the superscirpts 1 and 0 in the variables
and coefficients in the Table denote the cases with and without change-points, respectively.
