Abstract

The project has as its theme the estimation of volatility using high frequency data through realized measures. The main goals of the project are: i) introduction to diffusion process; ii) study of the realized measures suggested in the literature; iii) comparison of the efficiency of the realized measures under different diffusion process; iv) effect of outliers in the realized measures under study; and v) application to empirical series.
