In this paper, we show that most existing Gaussian dynamic term structure models (GDTSMs) can be nested as special cases under a unified Heath-Jarrow-Morton (HJM)-based framework of GDTSM construction. Our study provides not only a systematic way to examine the commonality of many seemingly...

Motivated by an extensive literature showing that government bond yields exhibit a strong non-Markov property, in the sense that moving averages of long-lagged yields significantly improve the predictability of excess bond returns. We then develop a systematic approach of constructing non-Markov...

We build dynamic term structure models using a generalized structure of observable, forward-looking factors, where the dynamics of multi-horizon survey forecasts of inflation, output growth and monetary policy are modelled jointly with the physical process driving their realisations. When...
