Abstract: This paper presents a consistent and arbitrage-free multifactor model of the term structure of interest rates in which yields at selected fixed maturities follow a parametric muitivariate Markov diffusion process with “stochastic volatility.” the yield of any zero-coupon bond is taken to be a maturity-dependent affine combination of the selected “basis” set of yields. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions on the stochastic model for this affine representation. We include numerical techniques for solving the model, as well as numerical techniques for calculating the prices of term-structure derivative prices. the case of jump diffusions is also considered.

ECB monetary policy surprises: identification through cojumps in interest rates
TL;DR: In this paper, a new econometric approach was proposed to disentangle two distinct response patterns of the yield curve to monetary policy announcements, based on cojumps in intraday tick-data of a short and long term interest rate, and developed a day-wise test that detects the occurrence of a significant policy surprise and identifies the market perceived source of the surprise.
Predictability of Interest Rates and Interest-Rate Portfolios
TL;DR: The authors decompose each interest-rate series into two components: a persistent component captured by the dynamic factors, and a strongly mean-reverting component given by the pricing residuals of the model.
Term structure modelling for multiple curves with stochastic discontinuities
TL;DR: This work develops a tractable class of models, based on affine semimartingales, going beyond the requirement of stochastic continuity, and provides a fundamental theorem of asset pricing based on NAFLVR.

Optimal Portfolio Choice with Annuitization
Ralph S. J. Koijen,Theo Nijman,Bas J. M. Werker +2 more
- 01 Jan 2006
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the optimal consumption and portfolio choice problem over an individual's life cycle taking into account annuity risk at retirement, and find that using information on term structure variables and risk premia significantly improves the optimal annuity choice, restricting the annuity menu to nominal or inflation-linked annuities is costly for both conservative and more aggressive investors.
Around and Around: The Expectations Hypothesis
Mark Fisher,Christian Gilles +1 more
TL;DR: Fisher and Gilles as discussed by the authors showed that the U-EH is not consistent with general equilibrium in continuous-time models (as well as in discrete time models with continuous compounding of yields).

The Pricing of Options and Corporate Liabilities
Fischer Black,Myron S. Scholes +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical valuation formula for options is derived, based on the assumption that options are correctly priced in the market and it should not be possible to make sure profits by creating portfolios of long and short positions in options and their underlying stocks.

A Theory of the Term Structure of Interest Rates.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use an intertemporal general equilibrium asset pricing model to study the term structure of interest rates and find that anticipations, risk aversion, investment alternatives, and preferences about the timing of consumption all play a role in determining bond prices.

An equilibrium characterization of the term structure
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived a general form of the term structure of interest rates and showed that the expected rate of return on any bond in excess of the spot rate is proportional to its standard deviation.
