Modelling Australian interest rate swap spreads by mixture autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic processes
An interest rate swap is a contract between two parties to exchange periodically fixed rate payments for floating rate payments based on an agreed-upon notional principal and maturity. The fixed rate is known as the swap rate and a swap curve can be constructed using swap rates of different maturities. The swap curve is widely used by financial market participants as the benchmark for the prici...
متن کاملNonlinear Mean Reversion in the Short-Term Interest Rate
Using a new Bayesian method for the analysis of diffusion processes, this article finds that the nonlinear drift in interest rates found in a number of previous studies can be confirmed only under prior distributions that are best described as informative. The assumption of stationarity, which is common in the literature, represents a nontrivial prior belief about the shape of the drift functio...
متن کاملA comprehensive analysis of the short-term interest-rate dynamics
This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the short-term interest-rate dynamics based on three different data sets and two flexible parametric specifications. The significance of nonlinearity in the short-rate drift declines with increasing maturity for the interest-rate series used in the study. Using a flexible diffusion specification and incorporating GARCH volatility and non-normal in...
متن کامل- term , real interest rate
The stock versus flow effect of the federal debt/deficit on a real interest rate is examined in a reduced-form equation. The evidence shows a positive and significant linkage between the federal debt and an ex-post, taxadjusted, short-term, real interest rate.
متن کاملParameter estimation for autoregressive Gaussian-mixture processes: the EMAX algorithm
The problem of estimating parameters of discrete-time non-Gaussian autoregressive (AR) processes is addressed. The subclass of such processes considered is restricted to those whose driving noise samples are statistically independent and identically distributed according to a Gaussian-mixture probability density function (pdf). Because the likelihood function for this problem is typically unbou...
