Is the diurnal pattern sufficient to explain intraday variation in volatility? A nonparametric assessment

K Christensen, U Hounyo, M Podolskij - Journal of Econometrics, 2018 - Elsevier
In this paper, we propose a nonparametric way to test the hypothesis that time-variation in
intraday volatility is caused solely by a deterministic and recurrent diurnal pattern. We …

Inference under random limit bootstrap measures

G Cavaliere, I Georgiev - Econometrica, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Asymptotic bootstrap validity is usually understood as consistency of the distribution of a
bootstrap statistic, conditional on the data, for the unconditional limit distribution of a statistic …

A wild bootstrap for dependent data

U Hounyo - Econometric Theory, 2023 - cambridge.org
This paper introduces a novel wild bootstrap for dependent data (WBDD) as a means of
calculating standard errors of estimators and constructing confidence regions for parameters …

Estimating the variance of a combined forecast: Bootstrap-based approach

U Hounyo, K Lahiri - Journal of Econometrics, 2023 - Elsevier
This paper considers bootstrap inference in model averaging for predictive regressions. We
first show that the standard pairwise bootstrap is not valid in the context of model averaging …

Bootstrapping integrated covariance matrix estimators in noisy jump–diffusion models with non-synchronous trading

U Hounyo - Journal of Econometrics, 2017 - Elsevier
We propose a bootstrap method for estimating the distribution (and functionals of it such as
the variance) of various integrated covariance matrix estimators. In particular, we first adapt …

Bootstrapping Laplace transforms of volatility

U Hounyo, Z Liu, RT Varneskov - Quantitative Economics, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
This paper studies inference for the realized Laplace transform (RLT) of volatility in a fixed‐
span setting using bootstrap methods. Specifically, since standard wild bootstrap …

Validity of Edgeworth expansions for realized volatility estimators

U Hounyo, B Veliyev - The Econometrics Journal, 2016 - academic.oup.com
The main contribution of this paper is to establish the formal validity of Edgeworth
expansions for realized volatility estimators. First, in the context of no microstructure effects …

Testing the eigenvalue structure of spot and integrated covariance

P Dovonon, A Taamouti, J Williams - Journal of Econometrics, 2022 - Elsevier
For vector Itô semimartingale dynamics, we derive the asymptotic distributions of likelihood-
ratio-type test statistics for the purpose of identifying the eigenvalue structure of both …

Bootstrap inference for pre-averaged realized volatility based on nonoverlapping returns

S Gonçalves, U Hounyo… - Journal of Financial …, 2014 - academic.oup.com
The main contribution of this article is to propose bootstrap methods for realized volatility-like
estimators defined on pre-averaged returns. In particular, we focus on the pre-averaged …

A local stable bootstrap for power variations of pure-jump semimartingales and activity index estimation

U Hounyo, RT Varneskov - Journal of Econometrics, 2017 - Elsevier
We provide a new resampling procedure–the local stable bootstrap–that is able to mimic the
dependence properties of realized power variations for pure-jump semimartingales …
