Empirical volatility studies have discovered nonstationary, long-memory dynamics in the volatility of the stock market … found with nonparametric estimates of the fractional differencing parameter d, for financial volatility. In this paper, a …, stochastic volatility (SV-FIAR) model. Joint estimates of the autoregressive and fractional differencing parameters of volatility …

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.
