Forecasting the Yield Curve using Priors from No Arbitrage Affine Term Structure Models
In this paper we propose a strategy for forecasting the term structure of interest rates which may produce significant gains in predictive accuracy. The key idea is to use the restrictions implied by Affine Term Structure Models (ATSM) on a vector autoregression (VAR) as prior information rather than imposing them dogmatically. This allows to account for possible model misspecification. We appl...
متن کاملForecasting the yield curve in a data-rich environment: A no-arbitrage factor-augmented VAR approach
This paper suggests a term structure model which parsimoniously exploits a broad macroeconomic information set. The model uses the short rate and the common components of a large number of macroeconomic variables as factors. Precisely, the dynamics of the short rate are modeled with a FactorAugmented Vector Autoregression and the term structure is derived using parameter restrictions implied by...
متن کاملComplete Characterisation of Arbitrage Free Affine Term Structure Models
It is widely believed that the results in Duffie and Kan (1996) provide the necessary and sufficient conditions for a multifactor model of the term structure of interest rates to admit an affine representation. It is shown here that, in fact, only sufficient conditions are given by Duffie and Kan, and there are families of affine models that do not fall into the Duffie-Kan characterisation. A m...
متن کاملNo-arbitrage macroeconomic determinants of the yield curve
No-arbitrage macro-finance models use variance decompositions to gauge the extent of association between the macro variables and yields. We show that results generated by this approach are sensitive to the order of variables in the recursive identification scheme. In a four-factor model, one may obtain 18 different sets of answers out of 24 possible. We propose an alternative measure that is ba...
متن کاملThe Role of No-Arbitrage on Forecasting: Lessons from a Parametric Term Structure
Parametric term structure models have been successfully applied to innumerous problems in fixed income markets, including pricing, hedging, managing risk, as well as studying monetary policy implications. On their turn, dynamic term structure models, equipped with stronger economic structure, have been mainly adopted to price derivatives and explain empirical stylized facts. In this paper, we c...
