A parametric study of the term structure dynamics

We present an analysis of the dynamics of the term structure of interest rates based on the study of the time evolution of the parameters of a variation of the Nelson–Siegel model. The results show that it is extremely difficult to find a relation between the evolution of the term structure and the behavior of macroeconomic variables different from the official interest rate.
