Abstract

We consider a semimartingale with jumps that are driven by a finite activity Lévy process. Suppose that the Lévy measure is completely unknown, and that the jump component has a Markovian structure depending on unknown parameters. This paper concentrates on estimating the parameters from continuous observations under the nonparametric setting on the Lévy measure. The estimating function is proposed by way of nonparametric approach for some regression functions. In the end, we can specify jumps of the underlying Lévy process and estimate some Lévy characteristics jointly.
