In this paper we present some new asymptotic results for high frequency statistics of Brownian semi-stationary (BSS) processes. More precisely, we will show that singularities in the weight function, which is one of the ingredients of a BSS process, may lead to non-standard limits of the...

Market microstructure noise is a challenge to high-frequency based estimation of the integrated variance, because the noise accumulates with the sampling frequency. This has lead to widespread use of constructing the realized variance, a sum of squared intraday returns, from sparsely sampled...

We propose a new concept of modulated bipower variation for diffusion models with microstructure noise. We show that this method provides simple estimates for such important quantities as integrated volatility or integrated quarticity. Under mild conditions the consistency of modulated bipower...

In this paper, we present a realised range-based multipower variation theory, which can be used to estimate return variation and draw jump-robust inference about the diffusive volatility component, when a high-frequency record of asset prices is available. The standard range-statistic --...

In this paper we present the asymptotic theory for spectral distributions of high dimensional covariation matrices of Brownian diffusions. More specifically, we consider N-dimensional Itô integrals with time varying matrix-valued integrands. We observe n equidistant high frequency data points...

In this paper we present a survey on recent developments in the study of ambit fields and point out some open problems. Ambit fields is a class of spatio-temporal stochastic processes, which by its general structure constitutes a exible model for dynamical structures in time and/or in space. We...

In this paper, we present a test for the maximal rank of the volatility process in continuous diffusion models observed with noise. Such models are typically applied in mathematical finance, where latent price processes are corrupted by microstructure noise at ultra high frequencies. Using high...

The estimation of local characteristics of Itô semimartingales has received a great deal of attention in both academia and industry over the past decades. In various papers limit theorems were derived for functionals of increments and ranges in the infill asymptotics setting. In this paper we...
