We model a large panel of time series as a VAR where the autoregressive matrices and the inverse covariance matrix of the system innovations are assumed to be sparse. The system has a network representation in terms of a directed graph representing predictive Granger relations and an undirected...

This paper is concerned with the problem of the estimation of the integrated volatility of log-prices based on high frequency data when both price jumps and market microstructure noise are present. We begin by providing a survey of the leading estimators introduced in the literature to tackle...
