We establish a feasible central limit theorem with convergence rate $n^{1/8}$ for the estimation of the {integrated volatility of volatility} (VoV) based on noisy high-frequency data with jumps. This is the first inference theory ever built for VoV estimation under such a general setup. The...

This paper introduces a solution that combines the Kalman and particle fi lters to the challenging problem of estimating integrated volatility using high-frequency data where the underlying prices are perturbed by a mixture of random noise and price discreteness. An explanation is presented of...

We develop a test for stationarity of latent volatility curves over time using high-frequency financial data. For deriving the asymptotic size and power of the test, we establish a functional invariance principle for semimartingales under a strong mixing condition. The power properties of our...
