Is the diurnal pattern sufficient to explain intraday variation in volatility? A nonparametric assessment
日内周期模式能否解释日内波动率变化?一项非参数评估
In this paper, we propose a nonparametric way to test the hypothesis that time-variation in intraday volatility is caused solely by a deterministic and recurrent diurnal pattern. We assume that noisy high-frequency data from a discretely sampled jump-diffusion process are available. The test is then based on asset returns, which are deflated by the seasonal component and therefore homoskedastic under the null. To construct our test statistic, we extend the concept of…
