We define a new consistent estimator of the integrated volatility of volatility based only on a pre-estimation of the Fourier coefficients of the volatility process. We investigate the finite sample properties of the estimator in the presence of noise contamination by computing the bias of the...

Availability of high frequency data has improved the capability of computing volatility in an efficient way. Nevertheless, measuring volatility/covariance from the observation of the asset price is challenging for two main reasons: observed asset prices are generally affected by noise...
