Dynamic term structure models (DTSMs) price interest rate derivatives based on the modelimplied fair values of the yield curve, ignoring any pricing residuals on the yield curve that are either from model approximations or market imperfections. In contrast, option pricing in practice often takes...

We propose a model that delivers endogenous variations in term spreads driven primarily by banks’ portfolio decision and their appetite to bear the risk of maturity transformation. We first show that fluctuations of the future profitability of banks’ portfolios affect their ability to cover...

Este artículo presenta una nueva metodología para estimar el gasto financiero de la Administración Central. La idea subyacente es la de representar desagregadamente la dinámica de la deuda y del gasto por intereses a partir de cuatro elementos: el saldo vivo de la deuda pública inicial, las...

La literatura teórica de modelos de curva de tipos enfatiza la importancia de la absorción de riesgo de duración esperada durante la vida residual de los bonos para entender el efecto de las compras de activos de los bancos centrales sobre las curvas de tipos. Motivados por esto, construimos...

The concept of measurement quality assurance (MQA) as embodied in National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) programs is not generally used within European programs for testing or accreditation. Although the essential elements of quality control and quality assurance are in the...

This paper aims to provide a flexible methodological framework to estimate import demandmodels, which explicitly considers the stochastic properties of data and the endogenous/exogenousnature of some variables. The French imports of virgin olive oil have been used as a case study withSpain,...
