## Abstract We consider a new approach for estimating the coefficients of the term structure equation in twoβfactor models. This approach is based on the fact that the riskβneutral drifts of the factors are directly estimated. Therefore, the market prices of risk and the physical drifts do not have
In this paper we propose a smooth transition tree model for both the conditional mean and variance of the short-term interest rate process. The estimation of such models is addressed and the asymptotic properties of the quasi-maximum likelihood estimator are derived. Model specification is also disc
