This paper proposes a dynamic proportional hazard (PH) model with non-specified baseline hazard for the modelling of autoregressive duration processes. A categorization of the durations allows us to reformulate the PH model as an ordered response model based on extreme value distributed errors....

This paper proposes a unified state-space formulation for parameter estimation of exponential-affine term structure models. This class of models, charaterized by Duffie and Kan (1993), contains models such as Vasicek (1977), Cox, Ingersoll and Ross (1985) and Chen and Scott (1992), among others....
