Testing for jumps and jump intensity path dependence
跳跃存在性与跳跃强度路径依赖的检验
In this paper, we develop a “jump test” for the null hypothesis that the probability of a jump is zero, building on earlier work by Aït-Sahalia (2002). The test is based on realized third moments, and uses observations over an increasing time span. The test offers an alternative to standard finite time span tests, and is designed to detect jumps in the data generating process rather than detecting realized jumps over a fixed time span. More specifically, we make two…
