Bootstrap in nonstationary autoregression

Zuzana Prášková

Abstract:

The first-order autoregression model with heteroskedastic innovations is considered and it is shown that the classical bootstrap procedure based on estimated residuals fails for the least-squares estimator of the autoregression coefficient. A different procedure called wild bootstrap, respectively its modification is considered and its consistency in the strong sense is established under very mild moment conditions.
