Yield Curve Predictability, Regimes, andMacroeconomic Information: A Data-Driven Approach

We propose an empirical approach to determine the various economic sourcesdriving the US yield curve. We allow the conditional dynamics of the yield at differ-ent maturities to change in reaction to past information coming from several relevantpredictor variables. We consider both endogenous, yield curve factors and exoge-nous, macroeconomic factors as predictors in our model, letting the data themselveschoose the most important variables.[...]
