摘要
Whereas earlier empirical evidence suggests long memory in volatility of financial assets, more recent empirical evidence indicates that volatility is rough. The present paper explores weak identification issues arising in these two popular configurations. It is shown that a model with long memory and weak autoregressive dynamics is asymptotically observationally equivalent to a model with antipersistent shocks and a near-unit autoregressive root. A data-driven semiparametric and identification-robust approach to inference is developed, revealing the effect of these model ambiguities and documenting the prevalence of weak identification in many realized volatility and trading volume series. The identification-robust empirical findings generally favor long memory dynamics in volatility and volume, a conclusion that is corroborated using social-media news flow data. Financial implications of weak identification on forecasting are also examined.
