Evolving Macroeconomic Perceptions and the Term Structure of Interest Rates∗
We explore the role of evolving beliefs regarding the structure of the macroeconomy in improving our understanding of the term structure of interest rates within the context of a simple macro-finance model. Using quarterly vintages of real-time data and survey forecasts for the United States over the past 40 years, we show that a recursively estimated VAR on real GDP growth, inflation and the n...
متن کاملInterest Rates Term Structure Forecasting and Bond Portfolio Risk Management
The dynamic Nelson-Siegel-style models, which are popular in the literature of interest rates term structure forecasting, may be unstable because of the potential existence of unit roots in the parameter series. In this paper, the dynamic Nelson-Siegel-style models are modified by modelling the first-order differenced instead of original parameter series. Empirical study shows that the modified...
متن کاملDynamic polynomial models for the term structure of interest rates
In this paper we discuss a problem quite debated in the literature, namely how to obtain dynamic versions of cross-sectional models for the term structure of interest rates which satisfies some desirable requirements: (a) providing a good reconstruction of market data; (b) having theoretical control of the dynamic no-arbitrage conditions. These requirements are often conflicting: many empirical...
متن کاملA Two Factor Latent Variable Model of the Term Structure of Interest Rates
Continuous time models of the term structure of interest rates (see bibliography) provide unified theories of the pricing of all interest rate related claims: bills and bonds of different maturities, and options and futures contracts on these instruments. More specifically, they postulate that the prices of all such securities depend on a usefully small common list of underlying ‘factors’, and ...
متن کاملTerm Structure of Interest Rates
I nterest rates and their dynamics provide probably the most computationally difficult part of the modern financial theory. The modern fixed income market includes not only bonds but all kinds of derivative securities sensitive to interest rates. Moreover interest rates are important in pricing all other market securities since they are used in time discounting. Interest rates are also importan...
