Abstract: A new class of power-transformed threshold ARCH models is proposed as a threshold-asymmetric generalization of the nonlinear ARCH considered by Higgins and Bera [Internat. Econom. Rev. 33 (1992) 137]. This class is rich enough to include diverse nonlinear and nonsymmetric ARCH models which have been spelled out in the literature. Geometric ergodicity of the model and existence of stationary moments are studied. The model facilitates discussing ARCH structures and hence large sample tests for ARCH structures are investigated via local asymptotic normality approach. Semiparametric tests are also discussed for the case when the error density is unknown.
