In this paper a stochastic volatility model is considered. That is, a log price process Y whichis given in terms of a volatility process V is studied. The latter is defined such that the logprice possesses some of the properties empirically observed by Barndorff-Nielsen & Jiang[6]. Inthe model there are two sets of unknown parameters, one set corresponding to the marginaldistribution of V and one to autocorrelation of V. Based on discrete time observations ofthe log price the authors discuss how to estimate the parameters appearing in the marginaldistribution and find the asymptotic properties.
