4 1. Introduction Observed transaction price = unobservable efficient price + some noise component due to the imperfections of the trading process Y τ = X τ + ε τ ε summarizes a diverse array of market microstructure effects, either informational or not: bid-ask bounces, discreteness of price changes, differences in trade sizes or informational content of price changes, gradual response of prices to a block trade, the strategic component of the order flow, inventory control effects, etc.
5 We study the implications of such a data generating process for the estimation of the volatility of the efficient log-price process dx t = µ t dt + σ t dw t using discretely sampled data on the transaction price process at times 0,,..., n = T.

Without noise, the realized volatility n i=1 (X ti+1 X ti ) 2 estimates the quadratic variation T 0 σ 2 t dt. In theory, sampling as often as possible will produce in the limit a perfect estimate of that quantity.
