Discrete-Time Affine Term Structure Models with Generalized Market Prices of Risk
نویسنده
چکیده
This article develops a rich class of discrete-time, nonlinear dynamic term structure models (DTSMs). Under the risk-neutral measure, the distribution of the state vector Xt resides within a family of discrete-time affine processes that nests the exact discrete-time counterparts of the entire class of continuous-time models in Duffie and Kan (1996) and Dai and Singleton (2000). Under the historical distribution, our approach accommodates nonlinear (nonaffine) processes while leading to closed-form expressions for the conditional likelihood functions for zero-coupon bond yields. As motivation for our framework, we show that it encompasses many of the equilibrium models with habit-based preferences or recursive preferences and long-run risks. We illustrate our methods by constructing maximum likelihood estimates of a nonlinear discrete-time DTSM with habit-based preferences in which bond prices are known in closed form. We conclude that habit-based models, as typically parameterized in the literature, do not match key features of the conditional distribution of bond yields. (JEL G12, C50, E13, E21)

متن کاملMedium Term Hydroelectric Production Planning - A Multistage Stochastic Optimization Model
Multistage stochastic programming is a key technology for making decisions over time in an uncertain environment. One of the promising areas in which this technology is implementable, is medium term planning of electricity production and trading where decision makers are typically faced with uncertain parameters (such as future demands and market prices) that can be described by stochastic proc...
متن کاملPricing Credit Default Swaps Under Default Correlations and Counterparty Risk ∗
In this paper, we develop a generalized affine model to characterize correlated credit risk of multi-firms. When valuing credit derivatives, this new approach allows to incorporate correlative market and credit risk, interdependent default risk structure and counterparty risk into consideration. We have demonstrated our affine model not only combines the existing structural models and intensity...
متن کاملExtracting Expectations in Affine Term Structure Models
In this paper, we study the problem of implementation of Ross (2015) Recovery theorem to disentangle the pricing kernel and physical probabilities from observed bond yields within discrete time affine term structure models. As a remedy to the problem of obtaining Arrow-Debreu prices of state transitions, we propose Markov chain approximation to autoregressive processes. Our work suggests that a...
