where X = (Xij)p×n consists of independent and identically distributed real random variables and T is a symmetric nonnegative definite nonrandom matrix. When p → ∞ and n → ∞ with p n → 0, it is shown that its empirical spectral distribution converges to a fixed distribution under the fourth moment condition. It is then discussed that such an asymptotic distribution can be used to derive an asymptotically consistent test for the hypothesis testing of cross–sectional independence.
