The results of the estimated models of EUR swap yields of different maturity …This paper models the month-over-month change in euro-denominated (EUR) long-term interest rate swap yields. It shows … EUR swap yields of different maturity tenors, after controlling for various macroeconomic and financial variables, such as …
