An empirical comparison of alternative models of the short‐term interest rate

KC Chan, GA Karolyi, FA Longstaff… - The journal of …, 1992 - Wiley Online Library
We estimate and compare a variety of continuous‐time models of the short‐term riskless rate
using the Generalized Method of Moments. We find that the most successful models in …

Gaussian estimation of single‐factor continuous time models of the term structure of interest rates

KB Nowman - The journal of Finance, 1997 - Wiley Online Library
This article presents the first application in finance of recently developed methods for the
Gaussian estimation of continuous time dynamic models. A range of one factor continuous …

The term structure of real interest rates and the Cox, Ingersoll, and Ross model

RH Brown, SM Schaefer - Journal of Financial Economics, 1994 - Elsevier
This paper estimates real term structures from cross-sections of British government index-
linked ('realrd) bond prices. The Cox, Ingersoll, and Ross (1985) model is then fitted to the …

A state‐space approach to estimate and test multifactor Cox‐Ingersoll‐Ross models of the term structure

ALJ Geyer, S Pichler - Journal of Financial Research, 1999 - Wiley Online Library
The objective of this paper is to estimate and test multifactor versions of the Cox‐Ingersoll‐
Ross (CIR) model of the nominal term structure of interest rates. The proposed state‐space …

Interest rate volatility and the shape of the term structure

RH Brown, SM Schaefer - Philosophical Transactions of …, 1994 - royalsocietypublishing.org
This paper analyses the effect of interest rate uncertainty on the shape of the forward rate
curve. We consider a broad class of term structure models characterized by an affine relation …

An empirical comparison of forward‐rate and spot‐rate models for valuing interest‐rate options

W Bühler, M Uhrig‐Homburg, U Walter… - The Journal of …, 1999 - Wiley Online Library
Our main goal is to investigate the question of which interest‐rate options valuation models
are better suited to support the management of interest‐rate risk. We use the German market …

Pricing bonds and bond options with default risk

E Barone, G Barone‐Adesi… - European Financial …, 1998 - Wiley Online Library
The pricing of bonds and bond options with default risk is analysed in the general

Empirical evaluation of the market price of risk using the CIR model

M Bernaschi, L Torosantucci, A Uboldi - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics …, 2007 - Elsevier
We describe a simple but effective method for the estimation of the market price of risk. The
basic idea is to compare the results obtained by following two different approaches in the …
