Abstract

In the paper we try to measure the activity of jumps in returns of some instruments from the Polish financial market. We use Blumenthal-Getoor index ? for Lévy processes as a measure of jumps’ activity. This allows us to distinguish between processes with rare and sharp jumps and the processes with infinitely-active jump component. We use three different methods. First we use activity signature plots to estimate the activity patterns of jumps. Then we estimate the Blumenthal-Getoor index with A?t-Sahalia and Jacod threshold estimator.Then we use methods based on singularity spectra of Lévy processes. Finally, we compare the results.
