avviso di seminario
by Marco Fuhrman 08 May '14

08 May '14

Il giorno martedi' 20 maggio 2014, alle ore 12:00, il professor Jean Jacod Universite' Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris terra' un seminario dal titolo Is a discretely observed semimartingale of Ito type? presso il Dipartimento di Matematica del Politecnico di Milano (aula seminari "Fausto Saleri", sesto piano). Tutti gli interessati sono cordialmente invitati. Marco Fuhrman Abstract. In high-frequency statistics, and among various hypotheses, the fact that the underlying observed process is an Ito semimartingale is always assumed. However, for financial data for example, prices should be semimartingales (because of the "fundamental asset pricing theorem"), but there is no reason why it should be an Ito semimartingale. So it is important to derive tests for checking whether this assumption is enforced, or not. The problem cannot be solved in full generality, but we will see that under some restrictive structural assumptions, plus the fact that the process is continuous, some tests can be constructed. This is joint work with Yacine Ait-Sahalia.
