On alternative interest rate processes

Article Abstract:

The generalized method of moments (GMM) was used to analyze alternative interest rate processes for Denmark, Germany, Sweden and the UK. The study confirmed previous studies suggesting the existence of a positive relationship between interest rate level and volatility. Contrary to earlier studies, however, the results showed that mean-reversion greatly influences the specification of the interest rate dynamics. Moreover, the results indicated that different moment conditions can be used to capture non-fitted moments in GMM testing.
