Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The maturity effect states that the volatility of futures prices should increase as the contract approaches expiration. Numerous studies have investigated this effect for different asset classes. However, the presence of a maturity effect in short term interest rate (STIR) futures has usually only been studied considering these within a wider set of financial futures, without further consideration of their special features. Our study looks at the presence of maturity effects in STIR futures by analyzing the term structure of the volatility of the most worldwide traded contracts, taking into consideration their specific characteristics. We provide empirical evidence on the positive relation between volatility and time to maturity and show how these results relate to models of the term structure of interest rates.

This book was released on 2013-10-17 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper sheds light on a narrow but crucial question in finance: What should be the parameters of a model of the short-term real interest rate? Although models for the nominal interest rate are well studied and estimated, dynamics of the real interest rate are rarely explored. Simple ad hoc processes for the short-term real interest rate are usually assumed as building blocks for more sophisticated models. In this paper, parameters of the real interest rate model are estimated in the broad class of single-factor interest rate diffusion processes on U.S. monthly data. It is shown that the elasticity of interest rate volatility—the relationship between the volatility of changes in the interest rate and its level—plays a crucial role in explaining real interest rate dynamics. The empirical estimates of the elasticity of the real interest rate volatility are found to be about 0.5, much lower than that of the nominal interest rate. These estimates show that the square root process, as in the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross model, provides a good characterization of the short-term real interest rate process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The response of short-term interest rates to weekly money announcements since the Federal Reserve's change in operating procedures on October 6, 1979, is examined in this paper. The results indicate that the response increased significantly since October 1979, and that it varies nonlinearly according to the relation of money growth to the Federal Reserve!s long-run targets. The results also suggest that the increase in the response and the rise in the volatility of unanticipated money have contributed about equally to the large rise in interest rate volatility during this period

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The short-term rate of interest is fundamental to much of theoretical and empirical finance. Yet no consensus has emerged on the dynamics of its volatility. We show that models which parameterize volatility only as a function of interest rate levels tend to over-emphasize the sensitivity of volatility to levels and fail to model adequately the serial correlation in conditional variances. On the other hand, serial correlation-based models like GARCH models fail to capture adequately the relationship between interest rate levels and volatility. We introduce and test a new class of models for the dynamics of short- term interest rate volatility which allows volatility to depend on both interest rate levels and information shocks. Two important conclusions emerge. First, the sensitivity of interest rate volatility to interest rate levels has been overstated in the literature. While this relationship is important, adequately modeling volatility as a function of unexpected information shocks is also important. Second, we conclude that the volatility processes in many existing theoretical models of interest rates are misspecified, and suggest new paths toward improving the theory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is important for monetary policy makers to know how closely money market rates follow the policy rates they set. This paper looks at the volatility and persistence of divergences between short-term market interest rates away from policy rates. This may also offer insights into the effectiveness of various approaches that central banks employ to smooth interest rate volatility, such as requiring minimum reserves. Using data for Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom, we find that in all three countries there are significant temporary divergences, although the average divergence is close to zero.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article attempts to identify the best model of the short term interest rates that can predict its stochastic process over time.We studied eight different models of interest rates in the short term. The choice of these models was the aim of analyzing the relevance of certain specifications of the stochastic process of the short term interest rates, the effect of mean reversion and the sensitivity of the volatility to the level of interest rate.The yield on three months treasury bills is used as a proxy for the short term interest rates. The parameters of the different stochastic process are estimated using the generalized method of moments. The results show that the effect of mean reversion is not statistically significant and that volatility is highly sensitive to the level of interest rates.To further study the performance prediction of the intertemporal behavior of the short term interest rate of the various models; we simulated their stochastic process for different periods.The results show that none of the studied models reproduce the actual path of the short term interest rates. The problem lies in the parametric specification of the mean and volatility of the diffusion process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper we present and estimate a model of short-term interest rate volatility, that encompasses both the level effect of Chan, Karolyi, Longstaff and Sanders (1992) and the conditional heteroskedasticity effect of the GARCH class of models. This flexible specification allows different effects to dominate as the level of the interest rate varies. We also investigate implications for the pricing of discount bond options. Our findings indicate that the inclusion of a volatility effect in addition to a level effect in the model specification is particularly relevant for the pricing of shorter-term discount bond options.
