Estimating Factor-Based Spot Volatility Matrices with Noisy and Asynchronous High-Frequency Data
含噪声且异步的高频数据下因子型瞬时波动率矩阵估计
We propose a new estimator of high-dimensional spot volatility matrices satisfying a low-rank plus sparse structure from noisy and asynchronous high-frequency data collected for an ultra-large number of assets. The noise processes are allowed to be temporally correlated, heteroskedastic, asymptotically vanishing and dependent on the efficient prices. We define a kernel-weighted pre-averaging method to jointly tackle the microstructure noise and asynchronicity issues, and we…
