Four specifications of an affine model with risk aversion and no arbitrage conditions are estimated for the Mexican Term Structure of Interest Rates, contrasting their empirical properties and the accuracy of their in and out of sample forecasts. The traditional models are extended by adding...

The aim of this study is to gather empirical evidence to discern theimpact of real exchange rate on the Colombian economy during 1990to 2002. The problem when you try to find this impact is the estimationof the real exchange rate of equilibrium, the one that is consistentwhit the simultaneous...

Since the adoption of the fully-fledged inflation targeting (IT) regime by an important group of central banks, a measure of both the potential output and the natural interest rate have become one of the main concerns of the research agenda. Estimation of the natural interest rate (NIR) is...

Spanish Abstract: En este capítulo 23 se presentan las principales recomendaciones que se deben tener en cuenta para acoplar los estados financieros (EEFF) de empresas existentes (o en marcha) a las proyecciones y modelar adecuadamente el movimiento de las principales cuentas contables

Este documento estudia una parte relevante del mecanismo de transmisión de la política monetaria asociado con el crédito bancario. Con tal objeto se estima un modelo VARXGARCH multivariado para establecer la relación, en frecuencia diaria, entre dos tasas de interés de corto plazo, la CDT y...

“Orthogonal portfolios” methodology applied by Roll (1980), in order to get an orthogonal zero-beta portafolio when we have a nonefficient market index in Mean-Variance approach, is used by MacKinley and Pastor (2000) to obtain a non observed risk factor that considers the information aj?0...

In this paper I discuss the modeling of the yield in discrete time. The popular Nelson-Siegel model and the Vasicek-factors model are presented in the same framework then it is simple to compare them.

The model proposed by Nelson and Siegel (1987) has been used for several researcher to fit the yield curve. In this paper we propose a discrete-time version of that model by using dynamic factors, such that the model is dynamic in the sense proposed by Diebold and Li (2006). We found the exact...
