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...

Recent empirical researches have examined the relationship between US short-term interest rates using linear as well nonlinear econometric tools. The main objective of this paper is to employ a new dynamic model that combines the bivariate noisy Mackey-Glass and the BEKK GARCH processes...
