The method has a two … average realized volatility processes can achieve a convergence rate close to OP(n−4/9) , which is better than the convergence … based on average realized volatility processes indeed performs better than that based on the price processes.

The paper examines the relative performance of Stochastic Volatility (SV) and Generalised Autoregressive Conditional … Heteroscedasticity (GARCH) (1,1) models fitted to ten years of daily data for FTSE. As a benchmark, we used the realized volatility (RV … two standard volatility models if the simple expedient of using lagged squared demeaned daily returns provides a better RV …

We are comparing two approaches for stochastic volatility and jumps estimation in the EUR/USD time series - the non …) using daily returns. We find that both of the methods do identify continuous stochastic volatility similarly, but they do … the continuous volatility) on the daily frequency. As an additional result we find strong evidence for jump size …

Despite the growing interest in realized stochastic volatility models, their estimation techniques, such as simulated … maximum likelihood (SML), are computationally intensive. Based on the realized volatility equation, this study demonstrates … quasi-likelihood ratio tests favored the two-factor realized asymmetric stochastic volatility model with the standardized t …

We introduce a statistical test for simultaneous jumps in the price of a financial asset and its volatility process … volatility jumps, we design and analyze a nonparametric spectral estimator of the spot volatility process. A simulation study and … important role played by price volatility co-jumps. …

The persistent nature of equity volatility is investigated by means of a multi-factor stochastic volatility model with … model a time-varying generalization of the HAR model for the realized volatility series. It emerges that during the recent … stochastic volatility model suggest that the change in the dynamic structure of the realized volatility during the financial …

For this purpose, we introduce asymptotically … exact volatility measurement equations in state space form and propose a Bayesian estimation approach. Our highly efficient …
