For two time series $\{ (Y_t, Z_t^Y) \}_{t}$ and $\{(X_t, Z_t^X)\}_{t}$, the directional dependence of $\{ X_t \}_{t}$ on $\{ Y_t \}_{t}$ while removing the impact of $Z_t^X$ on $X_t$ and the impact of $Z_t^Y$ on $ Y_t$ can be measured by cross-quantilograms. When the two time series are obeserved over two periods of time, it can be of interest to learn whether the cross-quantilograms remain the same for the two periods of time. We propose a test for this purpose, and the cross-quantilograms are estimated using the estimators proposed by Han (2016). The $p$-value of the proposed test is obtained based on a bootstrap approach.
