报告的主要内容：We develop bootstrap procedures for the realized Laplace transform of volatility and associated statistics. First, we demonstrate that a naive wild bootstrap fails for the realized Laplace transform of volatility. Next, we propose a modified wild- as well as a local Gaussian bootstrap and established their first-order asymptotic validity. Motivated by the superior performance of the local Gaussian bootstrap procedure in finite samples, we use Edgeworth expansions to compare its theoretical accuracy with existing first-order feasible asymptotic theory. Our cumulants expansions demonstrate that the local Gaussian bootstrap is able to mimic the higher-order bias of the studentized test statistic, for which second-order asymptotic refinements are obtained. Not surprisingly, our Monte Carlo simulation study shows that the local Gaussian bootstrap outperforms the modified wild bootstrap and existing (first-order) feasible inference theory in finite sample.
