چکیده

Linearized versions of the Nelson-Siegel (1987) and Svensson (1994) models for the cross-sectional estimation of spot yield curves from samples of coupon bonds are developed and analyzed. It is shown how these models can be made linear in the level, slope and curvature parameters and how prior information about these parameters can be incorporated in the estimation procedure. The performance of the linearized models are assessed in a Monte Carlo setting and with a sample of U.S. government bonds. The results reveal that the linearized models compare favorably to the original models in terms of parameter estimates stability, computing effort and prevalence of local optima. ∗Corresponding author: Jean-Guy Simonato, Department of finance, HEC Montréal, 3000 Côte-SainteCatherine, Montréal, H3T 2A7.

G.A. Medvedev ON THE NELSON–SIEGEL–SVENSSON NO-ARBITRAGE YIELD CURVE MODELS

It is shown that the requirement to satisfy the no-arbitrage conditions specifies the Nelson–Siegel–Svensson model in the sense that gives for coefficients of this model the obvious economic sense: the free coefficient should be function on term to maturity, and other coefficients should depend on the market state variables which, in turn, are selective values of stochastic processes at time po...

The effect of parallel OTC-DVP bond market introduction on yield curve volatility

The goal of this paper is to analyze the effect of OTC-DVP (over the counter delivery versus payment) fixed income market introduction in Slovenia on the term structure estimation and on the volatility of zero coupon yields and forward interest rates. For the purpose of the analysis Slovenian zero coupon and forward curves were estimated. The model used for yield curve estimation was Nelson-Sie...

Comparative Study on Static Term Structure of Interest Rates

The term structure of interest rates has been a hot topic in the financial sector. With the accelerating process of interest rate liberalization, to seek a representative benchmark interest rate of the market is basis for the fixed income products pricing. This paper using Nelson-Siegel-Svensson model and polynomial spline model fitting analysis is carried out on bond transaction data of Shangh...

A Combinatorial Optimization Model of Interest Rate Term Structure Using Genetic Algorithms

In this paper, we develop a new term structure model of interest rates with combinatorial optimization method based on four classical models: polynomial spline model, exponential spline model, Nelson-Siegel model and Svensson model. Genetic algorithms are employed to solve the combinatorial optimization model. Then, we make some empirical comparisons of five models using daily bond data from Sh...

Comparative Analysis of the Stochastic and Parsimonious Interest Rates Models on Croatian Government Market

The paper provides a discussion of the most relevant aspects of yield curve modeling. Two classes of models are considered: stochastic and parsimonious function based, through the approaches developed by Vasicek (1977) and Nelson and Siegel (1987). Yield curve estimates for Croatia are presented and their dynamics analyzed and finally, a comparative analysis of models is conducted. Keywords—the...
