Debiased Kernel Estimation of Spot Volatility in the Presence of Infinite Variation Jumps
无限变差跳跃下瞬时波动率的去偏核估计
Volatility estimation is a central problem in financial econometrics, but becomes particularly challenging when jump activity is high, a phenomenon observed empirically in highly traded financial securities. In this paper, we revisit the problem of spot volatility estimation for an Itô semimartingale with jumps of unbounded variation. We construct truncated kernel-based estimators and debiased variants that extend rate-optimal spot volatility estimation to a wider range of…
