A regime-switching Nelson–Siegel term structure model of the macroeconomy

چکیده
This paper presents a regime-switching Nelson–Siegel term structure model with macro factors and introduces a Markov chain Monte Carlo procedure to estimate the model. We find that regime shifts are important for understanding the interaction between the yield curve and economic activity. We also find that two regimes are closely related to the business cycle and monetary policy. Finally, we find that the proposed regime-switching model with macro factors is competitive in the out-of-sample forecasting of bond yields. 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Identification and Estimation of Gaussian Affine Term Structure Models with Regime Switching
We establish that [1]’s parameters are universally unidentified and a subset of their parameterization is over identified. As a solution to the problem with the identifiability, we propose a new representation of double-regime three-factor GDTSMs whose parameters are just-identified when the number of the pricing-with-error yields equals 2. This new parametrization has another advantage over [2...
متن کاملModeling Gasoline Consumption Behaviors in Iran Based on Long Memory and Regime Change
In this study, for the first time, we model gasoline consumption behavior in Iran using the long-term memory model of the autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average and non-linear Markov-Switching regime change model. Initially, the long-term memory feature of the ARFIMA model is investigated using the data from 1927 to 2017. The results indicate that the time series studied has a lo...
متن کاملA Dynamic Nelson-Siegel Yield Curve Model with Markov Switching
This paper proposes a model to better capture persistent regime changes in the interest rates of the US term structure. While the previous literature on this matter proposes that regime changes in the term structure are due to persistent changes in the conditional mean and volatility of interest rates we find that changes in a single parameter of the model we use better models regime changes. F...
متن کاملThe Impact of Financial Market Fluctuations on Financial Instability in the Iranian Economy: The Wavelet based Markov Switching Model
In this study, the effect of fluctuations of asset markets (exchange rate, oil price and stock market index) on financial instability index over a period of 1388-1397 monthly is investigated by using the Markov Switching model. The wavelet transform model is used to extract exchange rate fluctuations, oil prices and stock market index. The results show that the effect of exchange rate fluctuati...
متن کاملForecasting Crude Oil prices Volatility and Value at Risk: Single and Switching Regime GARCH Models
Forecasting crude oil price volatility is an important issues in risk management. The historical course of oil price volatility indicates the existence of a cluster pattern. Therefore, GARCH models are used to model and more accurately predict oil price fluctuations. The purpose of this study is to identify the best GARCH model with the best performance in different time horizons. To achieve th...
