Uniform LAN property of locally stable L\'{e}vy process observed at high frequency

Abstract

Suppose we have a high-frequency sample from the L\'{e}vy process of the form Xtθ=βt+γZt+UtX_t^\theta=\beta t+\gamma Z_t+U_t, where ZZ is a possibly asymmetric locally α\alpha-stable L\'{e}vy process, and UU is a nuisance L\'{e}vy process less active than ZZ. We prove the LAN property about the explicit parameter θ=(β,γ)\theta=(\beta,\gamma) under very mild conditions without specific form of the L\'{e}vy measure of ZZ, thereby generalizing the LAN result of A\"{\i}t-Sahalia and Jacod (2007). In particular, it is clarified that a non-diagonal norming may be necessary in the truly asymmetric case. Due to the special nature of the local α\alpha-stable property, the asymptotic Fisher information matrix takes a clean-cut form.
