This paper introduces the Markov-Switching Multifractal Duration (MSMD) model by adapting the MSM stochastic volatility … feature of durations generated by the MSMD process propagates to counts and realized volatility. We employ a quasi … asymptotic normality for general MSMD specifications. We show that the Whittle estimation is a computationally simple and fast …
