Modeling the term structure of interest rates: a new approach

Article Abstract:

Random field models, which allow consistency with the current shape of the term structure without recalibrating, can be used to study the term structure of interest rates with conditional volatility. The model also implies that a set of zero coupon bonds does not complete the market and arbitrage cannot price the term structure derivatives.
