    Abstract

    For a class of additive processes of finite jump activity (FJA), we give precise conditions for the mean-squared consistency and feasible Central Limit Theorems of thresholded realized power variation estimators (TRV). To justify that the proposed conditions are the “best possible”, we also show that these are necessary for FJA Lévy processes. Non-asymptotic upper bounds and asymptotic decompositions of the mean-squared errors of our estimators are also provided. For comparison purposes, we also obtain the analogous asymptotic decomposition for a general multi-power realized variation (MPV). These results theoretically justify the relatively large bias of MPV (when compared to TRV) observed numerically in earlier Monte Carlo studies.
