The last decades have seen the development of a profusion of theoretical models of the term structure of interest rates. The aim of this survey is to provide a comprehensive review of these continuous time modeling techniques of the term structure applicable to value and hedge default-free bonds...

This paper proposes and implements a parsimonious three-factor model of the term structure whose dynamics is driven uniquely by observable state variables. This approach allows comparing alternative views on the way state variables – macroeconomic variables, in particular – influence the...

The affine dynamic Nelson–Siegel model links the affine class of models with the Nelson–Siegel interpolation scheme of the yield curve. Its parameters are interpreted as the latent factors of the spot rate process driven by an affine diffusion. Using an appropriate specification of this...
