This demonstrates the Tse LM test for constant correlation, replicating the results results in Tse, Y. K.(2000), "A Test for Constant Correlations in a Multivariate GARCH Model", Journal of Econometrics 98, 107-127. This starts with an estimate of a CC model and does an LM test for whether the covariances seem to also depend upon lagged outer products of the residuals.
This uses the TSECCTEST procedure (http://www.estima.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=796). Note that the GARCH model cannot use off-diagonal covariances in either the mean or variance models. The use of variances is OK, so you can have an "M" model which uses variances, but not the covariances.
