In a recent paper, Collin-Dufresne and Goldstein (2002) show that the movements of the yield curve and of interest rate derivatives are mostly uncorrelated, advocating the presence of unspanned volatility. This letter shows that their results can be explained in the framework of a Gaussian HJM...

In this study new realized volatility measures based on Multi-Scale regression and Discrete Sine Transform (DST) approaches are presented. We show that Multi-Scales estimators similar to that recently proposed by Zhang (2004) can be constructed within a simple regression based approach by...
