In this paper we review some recent work on limit results on realised power variation, that is sums of powers of absolute increments of various semimartingales. A special case of this analysis is realised variance and its probability limit, quadratic variation. Such quantities often appear in...

In this note we show that the feasible central limit theory for realised volatility and realised covariation recently developed by Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard applies under arbitrary diffusion based leverage effects. Results from a simulation experiment suggest that the feasible version of...

We use high frequency financial data to proxy, via the realised variance, each day's financial variability. Based on a semiparametric stochastic volatility process, a limit theory shows you can represent the proxy as a true underlying variability plus some measurement noise with known...

Limit distribution results on quadratic and higher order variation quantities are derived for certain types of continuous local martingales, in particular for a class of OU-based stochastic volatility models.

This paper looks at some recent work on estimating quadratic variation using realised volatility (RV) - that is sums of M squared returns. When the underlying process is a semimartingale we recall the fundamental result that RV is a consistent estimator of quadratic variation (QV). We express...

The availability of intra-data on the prices of speculative assets means that we can use quadratic variation like measures of activity in financial markets, called realised volatility, to study the stochastic properties of returns. Here we derive the moments and the asymptotic distribution of...

Limit distribution results on realised power variation, that is sums of absolute powers of increments of a process, are derived for certain types of semimartingale with continuous local martingale component, in particular for a class of flexible stochastic volatility models. The theory cover,...

In this paper we study the reliability of the mixed normal asymptotic distribution of realised volatility error, which we have previously derived using the theory of realised power variation. Our experiments suggests that the asymptotics is reliable when we work with the logarithmic transform of...
