The effect of parallel OTC-DVP bond market introduction on yield curve volatility
نویسنده
چکیده
The goal of this paper is to analyze the effect of OTC-DVP (over the counter delivery versus payment) fixed income market introduction in Slovenia on the term structure estimation and on the volatility of zero coupon yields and forward interest rates. For the purpose of the analysis Slovenian zero coupon and forward curves were estimated. The model used for yield curve estimation was Nelson-Siegel model as it proved to be superior in terms of goodness of fit, to other statistical methods of yield curve estimation, namely: Svensson model, B-splines model, smoothing B-splines model and Merrill Lynch exponential splines model. Results of analysis show that OTC-DVP bond market introduction (as parallel bond market) has improved the information content of bond prices for term structure estimation purpose. The volatility of spot and forward rates for mid and long remind maturities has fallen with the highest density on the longest maturity segment.

متن کاملTime Deformation and the Yield Curve
This paper considers how trading activity at one maturity of the yield curve a¤ects and is a¤ected by trading at other maturities. We approach the modelling of bond prices from a stochastic volatility perspective based on time deformation. We put forward a new, continuous time, multivariate time deformation model which is coherent with the market microstructure theory of price discovery and cap...

We investigate whether bonds can hedge volatility risk in the U.S. Treasury market, as predicted by most ‘affine’ term structure models. To this end, we construct powerful and model-free empirical measures of the quadratic yield variation for a cross-section of fixed-maturity zero-coupon bonds (‘realized yield volatility’) through the use of high-frequency data. We find that the yield curve fai...
