Estimating the Spot Covariation of Asset Prices—Statistical Theory and Empirical Evidence
资产价格瞬时协变的估计:统计理论与经验证据
We propose a new estimator for the spot covariance matrix of a multi-dimensional continuous semimartingale log asset price process, which is subject to noise and nonsynchronous observations. The estimator is constructed based on a local average of block-wise parametric spectral covariance estimates. The latter originate from a local method of moments (LMM), which recently has been introduced by Bibinger et al.. We prove consistency and a point-wise stable central limit…
