Published estimates of the jump share of index variance differ by a factor of seven

Instrument and definitionJump shareSteekproef
S&P 500 futures, unfiltered14.4%Jan 1990 to Dec 2002
30 year bond futures, unfiltered12.6%Jan 1990 to Dec 2002

Average individual firm, bipower basedongeveer 13%Jun 1997 to Jul 2008

The unfiltered measure is the realised variance minus the bipower variation, floored at zero, with no significance filter applied. The bipower based figure uses a filtered decomposition. For the same underlying index the two published figures are 14.4 and about 2 per cent. No jump share number should be quoted without its definition, its instrument and its sample attached.

One study puts jumps at 14.4 per cent of S&P 500 futures quadratic variation and another at about two per cent for the index tracker. The difference is the jump definition, and neither figure means anything without it.
