Two-step estimation of ergodic Lévy driven SDE

Abstract

We consider high frequency samples from ergodic L\'{e}vy driven stochastic differential equation (SDE) with drift coefficient a(x,α)a(x,\alpha) and scale coefficient c(x,γ)c(x,\gamma) involving unknown parameters α\alpha and γ\gamma. We suppose that the L\'{e}vy measure ν0\nu_{0}, has all order moments but is not fully specified. We will prove the joint asymptotic normality of some estimators of α\alpha, γ\gamma and a class of functional parameter φ(z)ν0(dz)\int\varphi(z)\nu_0(dz), which are constructed in a two-step manner: first, we use the Gaussian quasi-likelihood for estimation of (α,γ)(\alpha,\gamma); and then, for estimating φ(z)ν0(dz)\int\varphi(z)\nu_0(dz) we makes use of the method of moments based on the Euler-type residual with the the previously obtained quasi-likelihood estimator.
