A Markov Chain Estimator of Multivariate Volatility from High Frequency Data

We introduce a multivariate estimator of financial volatility that is based on the theory of Markov chains. The Markov chain framework takes advantage of the discreteness of high-frequency returns. We study the finite sample properties of the estimation in a simulation study and apply it to highfrequency commodity prices.
