Method of Moments Estimation of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Processes Driven by General Lévy Process
نویسنده
چکیده
Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes driven by general Lévy process are considered in this paper. We derive strongly consistent estimators for the moments of the underlying Lévy process and for the mean reverting parameter of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. Moreover, we prove that the estimators are asymptotically normal. Finally, we test the empirical performance of our estimators in a simulation study and we fit the model to real data.

Parameter Estimation for Ornstein-uhlenbeck Processes Driven by Α-stable Lévy Motions
The parameter estimation theory for stochastic differential equations driven by Brownian motions or general Lévy processes with finite second moments has been well developed. In this paper, we consider the parameter estimation problem for Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes driven by α-stable Lévy motions. The classical maximum likelihood method does not apply in this context because the likelihood ra...
متن کاملEfficient maximum likelihood estimation for Lévy-driven Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes
We consider the problem of efficient estimation of the drift parameter of an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type process driven by a Lévy process when high-frequency observations are given. The estimator is constructed from the time-continuous likelihood function that leads to an explicit maximum likelihood estimator and requires knowledge of the continuous martingale part. We use a thresholding technique ...
متن کاملEstimation for Nonnegative Lévy-driven Ornstein–uhlenbeck Processes
Continuous-time autoregressivemoving average (CARMA) processeswith a nonnegative kernel and driven by a nondecreasing Lévy process constitute a very general class of stationary, nonnegative continuous-time processes. In financial econometrics a stationary Ornstein–Uhlenbeck (or CAR(1)) process, driven by a nondecreasing Lévy process, was introduced by Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard (2001) as a ...
متن کاملOn exit times of Lévy-driven Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes
We prove two martingale identities which involve exit times of Lévy-driven Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes. Using these identities we find an explicit formula for the Laplace transform of the exit time under the assumption that positive jumps of the Lévy process are exponentially distributed.
متن کاملInfinite dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes driven by Lévy processes
We review the probabilistic properties of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes in Hilbert spaces driven by Lévy processes. The emphasis is on the different contexts in which these processes arise, such as stochastic partial differential equations, continuous-state branching processes, generalised Mehler semigroups and operator self-decomposable distributions. We also examine generalisations to the case...
