  ABSTRACT: In empirical finance, it is well-known that the volatility of asset returns is highly persistent. The persistence of the volatility process may be checked by testing for a unit root on stochastic volatility models. In this paper, a Bayesian test statistic based on decision theory is developed for testing a unit root on multivariate stochastic volatility models. At last, the developed approach is applied to investigate the persistent effect of financial crisis on the two main stock markets in China.
