Abstract

We observe (Yt) at times i/n, i=0,...,n, in the parametric stochastic volatility modeldYt=[Phi]([theta],WtH) dWt,where (Wt) is a Brownian motion, independent of the fractional Brownian motion (WtH) with Hurst parameter . The sample size n increases not because of a longer observation period, but rather, because of more frequent observations. We prove that the unusual rate n-1/(4H+2) is asymptotically optimal for estimating the one-dimensional parameter [theta], and we construct a contrast estimator based on an approximation of a suitably normalized quadratic variation that achieves the optimal rate.
