In this paper, the degree of the relationship amongst the underlying forward interest rates to the Mexican TIIE-28-day swap interest rate curve is analyzed. It is found empirically that there are strong correlations between term-adjacent forward interest rates, but such correlations become weak...

In this paper we obtain an interest rate term structure to price fixed-rate assets. In such structure we model the dynamics of the short interest rate based on the three factor model proposed by Lin-Chen (1995). Here we use the Mexican daily funding government rate as the short interest rate....

This paper, first, reviews briefly the literature on the term structure of interest rates, citing some of the most important studies done on the topic for the Mexican case in the last years. In addition, the development of the government debt market is described. Second, evidence against the...

The aim of this paper is to deepen in the possible explanations of such phenomenon byanalyzing two...

In this article, an open-economy optimal monetary rule is estimated for Colombia over the period 1991-2006 using the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). The results show that in 1991-1999 the monetary authorities had two targets: one for the inflation rate and another for the exchange rate. In...

Since the adoption of the fully-fledged inflation targeting (IT) regime by an important group of central banks, a measure of both the potential output and the natural interest rate have become one of the main concerns of the research agenda. Estimation of the natural interest rate (NIR) is...

This paper analyzes the effects of changes of Banco de la República’s policy interest rate in the term structure. The evidence suggests that, in daily frequency, these reactions are not significant. However, with weekly data we found an anticipated reacti
