Abstract: We consider a multidimensional Ito semimartingale regularly sampled on [0,t] at high frequency 1/Deltan, with Deltan going to zero. The goal of this paper is to provide an estimator for the integral over [0,t] of a given function of the volatility matrix. To approximate the integral, we simply use a Riemann sum based on local estimators of the pointwise volatility. We show that although the accuracy of the pointwise estimation is at most Deltan1/4, this procedure reaches the parametric rate Deltan1/2, as it is usually the case in integrated functionals estimation. After a suitable bias correction, we obtain an unbiased central limit theorem for our estimator and show that it is asymptotically efficient within some classes of sub models.
