In this paper we consider two processes driven by Brownian motions plus drift and jumps with infinite activity. Given discrete observations on a finite time horizon, we study the truncated (threshold) realized covariance \hat{IC} to estimate the integrated covariation IC between the two Brownian...

We show that the Truncated Realized Variance (TRV) of a semimartingale asset price converges to zero when observations are contaminated by microstructure noises. Under the additive iid noise assumption, a central limit theorem is also proved. In consequence it is possible to construct a feasible...

We introduce a class of nonparametric spot volatility estimators based on delta sequences and conceived to include many of the existing estimators in the field as special cases. The full limit theory is first derived when unevenly sampled observations under infill asymptotics and fixed...

In this paper we consider two semimartingales driven by Wiener processes and (possibly infinite activity) jumps. Given discrete observations we separately estimate the integrated covariation IC from the sum of the co-jumps. The Realized Covariation (RC) approaches the sum of IC with the co-jumps...

In this paper we consider a semimartingale model for the evolution of the price of a financial asset, driven by a Brownian motion (plus drift) and possibly infinite activity jumps. Given discrete observations, the threshold estimator is able to separate the integrated variance from the sum of...

We propose two nonparametric tests for investigating the pathwise properties of a signal modeled as the sum of a L\'evy process and a Brownian semimartingale. Using a nonparametric threshold estimator for the continuous component of the quadratic variation, we design a test for the presence of a...

We show that the Truncated Realized Variance (TRV) of a SemiMartingale (SM) converges to zero when observations are contaminated by noise. Under the additive i.i.d. noise assumption, a central limit theorem is also proved. In consequence it is possible to construct a feasible test allowing us to...
