Book Synopsis Bias-Reduced Estimation of Long Memory Stochastic Volatility by : Per Skaarup Frederiksen
Book excerpt: We propose to use a variant of the local polynomial Whittle estimator to estimate the memory parameter in volatility for long memory stochastic volatility models with potential nonstationarity in the volatility process. We show that the estimator is asymptotically normal and capable of obtaining bias reduction as well as a rate of convergence arbitrarily close to the parametric rate, n1=2. A Monte Carlo study is conducted to support the theoretical results, and an analysis of daily exchange rates demonstrates the empirical usefulness of the estimators.
