pythonpapermicrostructurevolatilityafter-work

Introducing Dependent Microstructure Noise and Integrated Volatility Estimation from High-Frequency Data for after-work quants

Li, Laeven & Vellekoop (2018) study integrated volatility when microstructure noise is dependent—so naive high-frequency estimators misbehave. Plain-language intro. Not investment advice.
