In this work we compare the interest rate forecasting performance using a broad class of linear models. The models are estimated through a MCMC procedure with data from the US and Brazilian markets. We show that a simple parametric specification has the best predictive power, but it does not...

We propose different exactly identified specifications of affine models with observed macri factors. The models are compared estimating Brazilian domestic and sovereign yield curves. Propomos diferentes especificações exatamente identificadas de modelos afins com fatores macroeconômicos...

The evolution of the yields of different maturities is related and can be described by a reduced number of commom latent factors. Multifactor interest rate models of the finance literature, common factor models of the time series literature and others use this property. Each model has advantages...

Com dados da Pesquisa de Orçamentos Familiares de 2008-2209, o estudo avalia empiricamente as implicações da teoria do ciclo da vida/renda permanente para o comportamento das trajetórias do consumo e da taxa de poupança das famílias brasileiras no ciclo da vida. O objetivo é testar a...

O censo agropecuário 1995-96 é utilizado para estudar os fatores responsáveis pelas diferenças na pobreza entre os estabelecimentos agrícolas no Brasil. As diferenças entre as regiões e as seguintes dicotomias são analisadas: proprietários/não proprietários; familiares/não...
