Robust Power Calculations with Tests for Serial Correlation in Stock Returns

Abstract

This paper provides an asymptotically most powerful test for a particular class of statistics which test the hypothesis of no serial correlation. This class includes many of the statistics employed in the recent finance and macroeconomics literature. Furthermore, with respect to a popular mean reversion alternative model, we show that the asymptotically most powerful test is quite robust to distributional specifications.
