This study examines statistical performance of tests for time-varying properties under misspecified conditional mean and variance. When time-varying properties of the conditional mean are tested in the case in which data have no time-varying mean but have time-varying variance, asymptotic tests have size distortions. The distortions are minimized by the use of a bootstrap method. Similarly, when time-varying properties of the conditional variance are tested in the case in which data have time-varying mean but no time-varying variance, asymptotic tests have large size distortions. The distortions are not improved even by the use of bootstrap methods. We show that tests for time-varying properties of the conditional mean by the bootstrap are robust regardless of the time-varying variance model, whereas tests for time-varying properties of the conditional variance do not perform well in the presence of misspecified time-varying mean.
