(en) Volatility plays a central role in finance, particularly in risk management. The strong need to work in a multi-temporal world implies the necessity to have a good temporal aggregation tool. This paper emphasizes the analysis of the ‘square root of time method' (‘scaling') and its restrictive application environment. We also study, through an empirical analysis, the bias associated to its use.
