Realized Volatility Forecasting in the Presence of Time-Varying Noise
时变噪声下的已实现波动率预测
Observed high-frequency financial prices can be considered as having two components, a true price and a market microstructure noise perturbation. It is an empirical regularity, coherent with classical market microstructure theories of price determination, that the second moment of market microstructure noise is time-varying. We study the optimal, from a finite-sample forecast mean squared error (MSE) standpoint, frequency selection for realized variance in linear variance…
