Abstract: In this paper, we propose a novel approach to detect heteroskedasticity in regression models with regressors contaminated by measurement error. Specifically, inspired by the integrated conditional moment (ICM) approach, we construct test statistics based on a deconvolved residual-marked empirical process and establish their asymptotic properties in both ordinary smooth and supersmooth cases, assuming the measurement error distribution is known. The issue of an unknown measurement error distribution is addressed by employing estimators of the measurement error characteristic function based on repeated measurements. Furthermore, depending on whether the measurement error distribution is known or not, to obtain critical values from the case-dependent limiting null distributions, we propose two computationally attractive multiplier bootstrap methods where the "parameter estimation effect" is successfully addressed. Finally, simulation results and empirical studies about corn yields and household budget shares confirm the favorable properties of the proposed tests.
