主题:Exploiting the errors and jumps: A time-varying rough volatility model for improved forecasts


讲座内容:This paper introduces a time-varying rough volatility model to mitigate the adverse impacts of measurement errors and jumps in forecasting. The specification is a discretized fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (fOU) process with a time-varying persistency depending on realized quadraticity. Under the in-fill asymptotic scheme, the process has a stochastic-unit-root specification, with the error term being a fractional Gaussian noise. So the fractional integration is possible. Methods are proposed to estimate parameters in the model. The asymptotic theory is developed for the estimators. Empirical estimates from RV of 110 cryptocurrencies suggest strong evidence of time-varying persistency and roughness. When using the proposed model to forecast the RV of 110 cryptocurrencies, we find evidence of superior forecasting performance of the proposed model relative to other popular models in the literature.
