Asymptotic behavior of maximum likelihood estimators for a jump-type Heston model

Abstract

We study asymptotic properties of maximum likelihood estimators of drift parameters for a jump-type Heston model based on continuous time observations, where the jump process can be any purely non-Gaussian L\évy process of not necessarily bounded variation with a L\évy measure concentrated on (1,)(-1,\infty). We prove strong consistency and asymptotic normality for all admissible parameter values except one, where we show only weak consistency and mixed normal (but non-normal) asymptotic behavior. It turns out that the volatility of the price process is a measurable function of the price process. We also present some numerical illustrations to confirm our results.
