Certain hybrid techniques, combining either carry-forward or cell-mean with linear interpolation, are also considered. Our … price index: (3) linear interpolation results in less fluctuation of prices than the true series: (4) combining either carry …

Growth rate data that are collected incompletely in cross-sections is a quite frequent problem. Chow and Lin (1971) have developed a method for predicting unobserved disaggregated time series and we propose an extension of the procedure for completing cross-sectional growth rates similar to the...

Being able to model yield curves from observed bond yields is essential in capital markets. Yield curves are required to accurately price financial products as well as to correctly assess the macroeconomic situation of economies. Current models based on the work of Nelson/Siegel et al. apply a...

Trend extraction from time series is often performed by using the filter proposed by Leser (1961), also known as the Hodrick-Prescott filter. Practical problems arise, however, if the time series contains structural breaks (as produced by German unification for German time series, for instance),...

Abstract In this paper, we introduce a new interpolation method for call option prices and implied volatilities with … static arbitrage. Our interpolation method is based on a distortion of the call price function of an arbitrage-free financial … one-dimensional interpolation method on every input maturity and interpolating the generated curves in the maturity …
