Let rt,i be high-frequency intraday return, then:

RV(d)t = RVt ≡

M∑i=1

where ∆ = 1d/M and ∆-frequency return is defined byrt,i = log(Pt−1+i .∆)− log(Pt−1+(i−1).∆).

IntroductionVolatility Components

Highly persistent process and consistent.

No access to Intraday data.

True long-memory processes versus simple componentmodels.

Volatility components: Short-, medium- and long-term.

Realized Variance over different time horizon

RV over time horizon h is defined by,

RV(h)t−i = RVt−i |t−h ≡ 1

h

h∑k=i

RVt−k (2)

For time horizons daily, weekly and monthly: h = 1, 5, 22.

Long-Memory Models of Realized VolatilityHeterogeneous AR and AR Quarticity Models

Heterogeneous Autoregressive (HAR) - Corsi(2009)

The following model labeled as HAR(3)-RV which captures theapproximate long-memory dynamic dependencies conveniently.

RVt = β0 + β1RV(d)t−1 + β2RV

(w)t−1 + β3RV

(m)t−1 + ϵt (3)

RV refers to Realized Volatility.

Extensions to HAR:

HAR-J:

RVt = β0 + β1RV(d)t−1 + β2RV

(w)t−1 + β3RV

(m)t−1 + β4Jt−1 + ϵt

(4)

Continuous HAR:

RVt = β0+β1BPV(d)t−1+β2BPV

(w)t−1 +β3BPV

(m)t−1 + ϵt (5)

Long-Memory Models of Realized VolatilityHeterogeneous AR and AR Quarticity Models

Demeaned RQ1/2 results in comparable interpretation toautoregressive coefficient in AR(1)-RV.

RQ is highly imprecise and requires forth moments.

Non-robustness.

In presence of jumps: RV is not consistent and RQdiverges as M grows.

ARQ models extensions:

Can be extended to Heterogeneous ARQ.
