TL;DR: In this article, the authors present 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.

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.

Dynamics of Output Growth, Consumption and Physical Capital in Two-Sector Models of Endogenous Growth
Farhad Nili,David Mayston +1 more
TL;DR: Hey et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated whether the players in the present should anticipate the decision of the player in the future and found that over half the participants in all three experimental treatments do not appear to be planning ahead.
Elasticity Approach to Portfolio Optimization
TL;DR: It is concluded that the proper control variables are elasticities to the traded assets or, in the case of stochastic interest rates, (factor) durations and this formulation of a portfolio problem allows for a kind of two-step procedure to solve the problems.

The Macroeconomic Determinants of the US Term-Structure During The Great Moderation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the relation between macroeconomic variables and the term structure of interest rates during the Great Moderation and interpolate a term structure using three latent factors of the yield curve to analyze the responses of all maturities to macroeconomic shocks.

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.
