Consistent fitting of one - factor models to interest rate data
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe a full maximum-likelihood fitting method of the popular single-factor Vasicek and Cox–Ingersoll–Ross models and carry this out for term-structure data from the UK and US. This method contrasts with the usual practice of performing a day-by-day fit. We also compare the results with some more crude econometric analyses on the same data sets. © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

Pricing and hedging interest rate options: Evidence from cap–floor markets
We examine the pricing and hedging performance of interest rate option pricing models using daily data on US dollar cap and floor prices across both strike rates and maturities. Our results show that fitting the skew of the underlying interest rate probability distribution provides accurate pricing results within a one-factor framework. However, for hedging performance, introducing a second sto...
متن کاملConsistent Calibration of HJM Models to Cap Implied Volatilities
This paper proposes a calibration algorithm that fits multi-factor Gaussian models to the implied volatilities of caps using the respective minimal consistent family to infer the forward rate curve. The algorithm is applied to three forward rate volatility structures and their combination to form two-factor models. The efficiency of the consistent calibration is evaluated through comparisons wi...
متن کاملYield Curve Fitting with Term Structure Models: Empirical Evidence from the Euro Market
We study the fitting of the euro yield curve with the Longstaff and Schwartz (1992) (LS) two-factor general equilibrium model and the Schaefer and Schwartz (1984) (SS) two-factor arbitrage model of the term structure of interest rates. The Cox, Ingersoll, and Ross (1985b) (CIR) one-factor model is also studied as a reference. LS use the short-term interest rate and the volatility of the short-t...
متن کاملRule-based of Monetary Policy in Iran Inspired by McCallum Rule
Economists have reached a consensus that an independent central bank could improve its policy efficiency by following a monetary policy rule. One of the important rules is McCallum rule where that requires central banks to target the growth rate of nominal GDP using the monetary base as its instrument. One of the features of the McCallum rule uses the monetary base rather than the interest rate...
متن کاملA Review of Spatial Factor Modeling Techniques in Recommending Point of Interest Using Location-based Social Network Information
The rapid growth of mobile phone technology and its combination with various technologies like GPS has added location context to social networks and has led to the formation of location-based social networks. In social networking sites, recommender systems are used to recommend points of interest (POIs) to users. Traditional recommender systems, such as film and book recommendations, have a lon...
