This study introduces a generalized discrete time framework to evaluate the empirical performance of a wide variety of well-known models in capturing the dynamic behavior of short-term interest rates. A new class of models that displays nonlinearity and asymmetry in the drift, and incorporates the l
## 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
We construct an international term structure model that has excellent empirical performance in tracking movements of exchange rates and currency returns. The forward premium puzzle is accounted for, yet the model does not have the undesirable properties found in Backus et al. (J. Finance 56 (2001) 2
This article tests the performance of a wide variety of well-known continuous time models-with particular emphasis on the Black, Derman, and Toy (1990; henceforth BDT) term structure model-in capturing the stochastic behavior of the short term interest rate volatility. Many popular interest rate mod
