For example, Bera and Higgins (1993, ) remarked that a major contribution of the ARCH literature is the finding that apparentchanges in the volatility of economic time series may be predictable andresult from a specific type of nonlinear dependence rather than exogenousstructural changes in variables. Campbell, Lo, and MacKinlay (1997, ) argued that it is both logi-cally inconsistent and statistically inefficient to use volatility measures thatare based on the assumption of constant volatility over some period whenthe resulting series moves through time.
