Abstract
We present a methodology to estimate the covariance of two time series when they are sampled from continuous semimartingales at general stopping times in a nonsynchronous manner. Approximation error bounds being explored, the estimators are shown to be consistent as the size of the sampling intervals tends to zero. The methodology is easy to be implemented with potentially broad applications, especially in financial modeling and analysis involving high-frequency transaction data. The results generalize those recently obtained by obtained by Hayashi and Yoshida (2005, Bernoulli 11(2):359-379)
