Popis: We examine finite sample performance of the Generalized Covariance (GCov) residual-based specification test for semiparametric models with i.i.d. errors. The residual-based multivariate portmanteau test statistic follows asymptotically a $\chi^2$ distribution when the model is estimated by the GCov estimator. The test is shown to perform well in application to the univariate mixed causal-noncausal MAR, double autoregressive (DAR) and multivariate Vector Autoregressive (VAR) models. We also introduce a bootstrap procedure that provides the limiting distribution of the test statistic when the specification test is applied to a model estimated by the maximum likelihood, or the approximate or quasi-maximum likelihood under a parametric assumption on the error distribution.
