We consider high-frequency observations from a one-dimensional time-homogeneous diffusion process Y . We assume that the diffusion coefficient $\sigma $ is continuously differentiable in y , but with a jump discontinuity at some level y , say $y=0$ . We first study sign-constrained kernel estimators of functions of the left and right limits of $\sigma $ at $0$ . These functions intricately depend on both limits. We propose a method to extricate these functions by searching for bandwidths where the kernel estimators are stable by iteration. We finally provide an estimator of the discontinuity jump size. We prove its convergence in probability and discuss its rate of convergence. A Monte Carlo study shows the finite sample properties of this estimator.
