Estimating Term Structure Equations Using Macroeconomic Variables
This paper begins with the expectations theory of the term structure of interest rates with constant term premia and then postulates how expectations of future short term interest rates are formed. Expectations depend in part on predictions from a set of VAR equations and in part on the current and two lagged values of the short term interest rate. The results suggest that there is relevant ind...
متن کاملEvolving 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 کاملMacroeconomic Determinants of the Term Structure of Corporate Spreads
Bank of Canada working papers are theoretical or empirical works-in-progress on subjects in economics and finance. The views expressed in this paper are those of the author. No responsibility for them should be attributed to the Bank of Canada. Abstract We investigate the macroeconomic determinants of corporate spreads using a no-arbitrage technique. Structural shocks are identified by a New-Ke...
متن کاملTerm Structure of Interest Rate Volatility and Macroeconomic Uncertainty ∗
We propose a new model of the yield curve to capture both the dynamics of their conditional mean and the term structure of interest rate volatilities. The new class of affine term structure models exhibits multiple unpriced stochastic volatility factors without imposing constraints on the conditional mean of yields. The common movement in the volatilities extracted from the model provides a new...
متن کاملPredictability of Bond Risk Premia with an Affine Term Structure Model
PREDICTABILITY OF BOND RISK PREMIA WITH AN AFFINE TERM STRUCTURE MODEL by SIBEL KORKMAZ Adviser: Professor Liuren Wu This thesis focuses on zero-coupon bond risk premia. In chapter 1 first I summarize the literature that defines expectation hypothesis, time variation in bond risk premia, well known macroeconomic and variety of technical indicators which predict bond return forecasts. Then, I co...
