Book excerpt: We study the forecasting performance of the Fourier volatility estimator in the presence of microstructure noise. Analytical comparison and simulation studies indicate that the Fourier estimator significantly outperforms realized volatility type estimators in particular for high frequency data and when the noise component is relevant. We show that Fourier estimator in general has a better performance even in comparison with methods specifically designed to handle market microstructure contaminations.
