We propose an affine term structure model that allows for tenor-dependence of yield curves andthus for different risk categories in interbank rates, an important feature of post-crisis interestrate markets. The model has a Nelson-Siegel factor loading structure and thus economicallywell...

We forecast the term structure of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bond yields by analyzing a range of models that have been used in the literature. We assess the relevance of parameter uncertainty by examining the added value of using Bayesian inference compared to frequentist estimation techniques,...

We assess the extent to which the imposition of a no-arbitrage restriction on the dynamic Nelson-Siegel model helps obtaining more accurate forecasts of the term structure. For that purpose, we provide an empirical application based on a large panel of Brazilian interest rate future contracts...

Inflation expectation is acknowledged to be an important indicator for policy makers and financial investors. To capture a more accurate real-time estimate of inflation expectation on the basis of financial markets, we propose an arbitrage-free model across different countries in a...
