A new linear estimator for Gaussian dynamic term structure models
Díez de los Ríos, Antonio - 2013
This paper proposes a novel regression-based approach to the estimation of Gaussian dynamic term structure models that avoids numerical optimization. This new estimator is an asymptotic least squares estimator defined by the no-arbitrage conditions upon which these models are built. We discuss...

Optimal estimation of multi-country Gaussian dynamic term structure models using linear regressions
Díez de los Ríos, Antonio - 2017
This paper proposes a novel asymptotic least-squares estimator of multi-country Gaussian dynamic term structure models that is easy to compute and asymptotically efficient, even when the number of countries is relatively large - a situation in which other recently proposed approaches lose their...

Uncertainty shocks, monetary policy and long-term interest rates
Amisano, Gianni; Tristani, Oreste - 2019

Modeling persistent interest rates with volatility-induced stationarity
Hansen, Anne Lundgaard - 2019
It is well-known that interest rates are extremely persistent, yet they are best modeled and understood as stationary processes. These properties are contradictory in the workhorse Gaussian affine term structure model in which persistent data often result in unit roots that imply...

Estimating Nominal Interest Rate Expectations : Overnight Indexed Swaps and the Term Structure
Lloyd, Simon - 2019
No-arbitrage dynamic term structure models (DTSMs) have regularly been used to estimate interest rate expectations and term premia, but are beset by an identification problem that results in inaccurate estimates. I propose the augmentation of DTSMs with overnight indexed swap (OIS) rates to...

Estimating Nominal Interest Rate Expectations : Overnight Indexed Swaps and the Term Structure
Lloyd, Simon - 2020
No-arbitrage dynamic term structure models (DTSMs) have regularly been used to estimate interest rate expectations and term premia, but are beset by empirical challenges. I propose augmenting DTSMs with overnight indexed swap (OIS) rates to better estimate the decomposition along the term...

Natural rate chimera and bond pricing reality
Brand, Claus; Goy, Gavin; Lemke, Wolfgang - 2021
We build a novel macro-finance model that combines a semi-structural macroeconomic module with arbitrage-free yield-curve dynamics. We estimate it for the United States and the euro area using a Bayesian approach and jointly infer the real equilibrium interest rate (r*), trend inflation (π*),...

Natural rate chimera and bond pricing reality
Brand, Claus; Goy, Gavin; Lemke, Wolfgang - 2020
Incorporating arbitrage-free term-structure dynamics into a semi-structural macro-model, we jointly estimate the real equilibrium interest rate (r*), trend inflation, and term premia for the United States and the euro area, using a Bayesian approach. The natural real rate and trend inflation are...

Risks in macroeconomic fundamentals and excess bond returns predictability
De Rezende, Rafael B. - 2015 - February 2015
I provide evidence that risks in macroeconomic fundamentals contain valuable information about bond risk premia. I … extract factors from a set of quantile-based risk measures estimated for US macroeconomic variables and document that they … unemployment rate. In addition, factors provide information about bond risk premia variation that is largely unrelated to that …
