We study in this paper the problem of least absolute deviation (LAD) regression for high-dimensional heavy-tailed time series which have finite $α$-th moment with $α\in (1,2]$. To handle the heavy-tailed dependent data, we propose a Catoni type truncated minimization problem framework and obtain an $\mathcal{O}\big( \big( (d_1+d_2) (d_1\land d_2) \log^2 n / n \big)^{(α- 1)/α} \big)$ order excess risk, where $d_1$ and $d_2$ are the dimensionality and $n$ is the number of samples. We apply our result to study the LAD regression on high-dimensional heavy-tailed vector autoregressive (VAR) process. Simulations for the VAR($p$) model show that our new estimator with truncation are essential because the risk of the classical LAD has a tendency to blow up. We further apply our estimation to the real data and find that ours fits the data better than the classical LAD.
