This article presents a model to estimate, in a one-step procedure, both the term structure of interest rates and the credit spread function of a diversified international portfolio of Eurobonds with different credit ratings. The estimated term structures can be used to analyze credit spread arbitrage opportunities in Eurobond markets. Numerical examples in the Argentinean, Brazilian, and Mexican Eurobond markets illustrate the practical use of the methodology. %U https://jfi.pm-research.com/content/iijfixinc/10/3/100.full.pdf
