Feasible inference for realised variance in the presence of jumps

چکیده
Here we assume that the logarithmic asset price is given by a semimartingale. Jacod (2006) has derived an infeasible central limit theorem for the realised variance in such a general framework. However, here we focus on constructing a feasible limit theorem. We propose a new estimator for the asymptotic variance of the realised variance. This new estimator is based on generalised versions of the realised variance and the realised bipower variation. We prove the consistency of this estimator and can derive a feasible limit theorem for the realised variance.

Likelihood estimation of Lévy–driven stochastic volatility models through realised variance measures
This paper studies the effect of jumps and leverage type effects on return and realised variance calculations when the logarithmic asset price is given by a scaled Lévy processes. In such a model, the realised variance is an inconsistent estimator of the integrated variance. Nevertheless it can be used within a quasi–maximumlikelihood setup to draw inference on the model parameters. In order to...
متن کاملPower and bipower variation with stochastic volatility and jumps
This paper shows that realised power variation and its extension called realised bipower variation that we introduce here is somewhat robust to rare jumps. We demonstrate that in special cases realised bipower variation estimate integrated variance in stochastic volatility models, thus providing a model free and consistent alternative to realised variance. Its robustness property means that if ...
متن کاملImpact of jumps on returns and realised variances: econometric analysis of time-deformed Lévy processes
In order to assess the effect of jumps on realised variance calculations, we study some of the econometric properties of time-changed Lévy processes. We show that in general realised variance is an inconsistent estimator of the time-change, however we can derive the second order properties of realised variances and use these to estimate the parameters of such models. Our analytic results give a...
متن کاملEfficient and feasible inference for the components of financial variation using blocked multipower variation
High frequency financial data allows us to learn more about volatility and jumps. One of the key techniques developed in the literature in recent years has been bipower variation and its multipower extension, which estimates time-varying volatility robustly to jumps. We improve the scope and efficiency of biand multipower variation by the use of a more sophisticated exploitation of high frequen...
متن کاملLimit theorems for multipower variation in the presence of jumps
In this paper we provide a systematic study of the robustness of probability limits and central limit theory for realised multipower variation when we add finite activity and infinite activity jump processes to an underlying Brownian semimartingale.
