An iterative plug-in algorithm for realized kernels
摘要
Realized kernels (RK) of Barndorff-Nielsen et al. (Econometrica 76:1481–1536, 2008) are consistent estimators of daily integrated volatility (IV) under dependent exogenous and endogenous market microstructure noise (MMN), if the bandwidth is properly selected. We propose to calculate RK with an iterative plug-in (IPI) bandwidth selector by adapting the idea of Barndorff-Nielsen et al. (Econometr J 12:C1–C32, 2009). Under independent MMN, the IPI bandwidth converges (relatively) at the rate
