Linear–quadratic term structure models for negative euro area yields

Marco Realdon, Wachira Boonyanet

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Four factor linear–quadratic models (LQTSM) fit negative Euro yields well, as short yields can be negative, but not the longest yields. LQTSM outperform four factor quadratic models that permit negative yields, which in turn outperform affine Gaussian models.
