Explaining the Forward Interest Rate Term Structure
We present compelling empirical evidence for a new interpretation of the Forward Rate Curve (frc) term structure. We find that the average frc follows a squareroot law, with a prefactor related to the spot volatility, suggesting a Value-at-Risk like pricing. We find a striking correlation between the instantaneous frc and the past spot trend over a certain time horizon. This confirms the idea o...
متن کاملInvestigating the Relationship between the Facility Interest Rate and the Bank Deposit Interest Rate in Iran
The facility interest rate is one of the most important macroeconomic variables. The bank facility interest rate is associated with other macro-economic variables, one of which is the bank deposit interest rate. Using the time series data of the 1973-2017 period and the simultaneous equation system, the researchers estimated four equations using the three-stage least squares method.The result o...
متن کاملDecade of dissent: explaining the dissent voting behavior of Bank of England MPC members
We examine the dissent voting record of the Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) in its first decade. Probit estimates indicate the impact of career experience on dissent voting is negligible, whereas the impact of forecast inflation is pronounced. In addition to finding a role for dynamics, we also find a role for unobserved heterogeneity in the form of member-specific fixed-effects...
متن کاملA Decade of Dissent: Explaining the Dissent Voting Behavior of Bank of England MPC Members
We examine the dissent voting record of the Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee (MPC). Contrary to findings in the FOMC literature (for example Havrilesky and Schweitzer, 1990; Chappell, Havrilesky, and McGregor, 1993), the effects of members’ career backgrounds and the political channel of appointment on voting behavior are negligible, reflecting the distinct institutional constraints an...
متن کاملDeep metazoan phylogeny: when different genes tell different stories.
Molecular phylogenetic analyses have produced a plethora of controversial hypotheses regarding the patterns of diversification of non-bilaterian animals. To unravel the causes for the patterns of extreme inconsistencies at the base of the metazoan tree of life, we constructed a novel supermatrix containing 122 genes, enriched with non-bilaterian taxa. Comparative analyses of this supermatrix an...
