Can Relative Yield Curves Predict Exchange Rate Movements? Example From Turkish Financial Market

Oz, Emrah 01 September 2010 (has links) (PDF)
Exchange rate forecasting is hard issue for most of floating exchange rate economies. Studying exchange rate is very attractive matter since almost no model could beat random walk in short run yet. Relative yields and information in relative yield curves are contemporary topics in empirical literature and this study follows Chen and Tsang (2009) who model exchange rate changes with relative factors obtained from Nelson-Siegel (1987) yield curve model and find that relative factor model can forecast exchange rate change up to 2 years and perform better than random walk in short run. Analysis follows the methodology defined by Chen and Tsang (2009) and TL/USD, TL/EUR exchange rate changes are modeled by the relative factors namely relative level, relative slope and relative curvature. Basically, 162 weekly datasets from 09.01.2007 to 16.03.2010 are used and the relative factors for each week are estimated. Afterwards, regression analysis is made and results show that relative level and relative curvature factors are significant up to 4-6 weeks horizon but relative slope does not provide any valuable information for exchange rate prediction in Turkish financial market. Length of forecasting horizon of relative factor model is too short when compared to other exchange rate models. Since it is accepted that exchange rates follow random walk, we provided some tests to compare performance of the model. Similar to the literature, only short run performance of relative factor model is compared to random walk model and concluded that the relative factor model does not provide better forecasting performance in Turkish financial market

Essays on sovereign credit risk and credit default swap spreads

Augustin, Patrick January 2013 (has links)
This doctoral thesis consists of 4 self-contained chapters: Sovereign Credit Default Swap Premia. This comprehensive review of the literature on sovereign CDS spreads highlights current academic debates and contrasts them with contradictory statements from the popular press.  Real Economic Shocks and Sovereign Credit Risk. New empirical evidence highlights that global macroeconomic risk unspanned by global financial risk bears some responsibility for the strong co-movement in sovereign spreads. A model with only two global macroeconomic state variables rationalizes the existence of time-varying risk premia as a compensation for exposure to common U.S. business cycle risk. The Term Structure of CDS Spreads and Sovereign Credit Risk. The term structure of CDS spreads is an informative signal about the relative importance of global and country-specific risk factors for the time variation of sovereign credit spreads. An empirically validated model illustrates how local risk matters relatively more when the slope is negative, while systematic risk bears more responsibility when the slope is positive. Squeezed Everywhere - Disentangling Types of Liquidity and Testing Limits-to-Arbitrage. The CDS-Bond basis is used as a laboratory to disentangle different types of liquidity and to test limits-of-arbitrage. While asset-specific liquidity is cross-correlated in both the cash and derivative market, funding and market liquidity matter only for the former. The tests find strong evidence in favor of margin-based asset pricing and flight-to-quality effects. / <p>Diss. Stockholm : Handelshögskolan, 2013. Sammanfattning jämte 4 uppsatser</p>

建構台灣壽險業解約率期限結構 / Construction of the Term Structure of Lapse Rates - Experiences from Taiwan.

杜於叡 Unknown Date (has links)
過去有相當多的文獻針對解約率建立模型,但由於資料取得之困難,鮮少文獻針對不同保單年度之解約率進行分析,本研究將以台灣壽險業資料分析不同保單年度之解約率行為,期望能找出解約率之期限結構,提供壽險業者訂價或風險管理之參考依據。   本研究使用台灣壽險業1987年至2011年間之生死合險及終身壽險資料,透過資料分析顯示兩險種之解約率關聯性不大,且應將繳別分為三類進行分析,分別為不分繳別、月繳及年繳和半年繳及季繳三類,針對各保單年度進行主成分分析,結果顯示皆需6至8個主成分方可達到90%之解釋力,並透過ARMA模型檢驗選定之主成分與總體經濟變數間之關聯性,進而觀察是否符合利率假說及緊急資金假說,最後透過VAR模型或ARMA模型模擬總體經濟變數和各主成分之分數,並利用主成分分析之結果將主成分分數轉換回保單年度變數,完成各保單年度解約率之模擬,建構出台灣壽險業解約率之期限結構。

[pt] Mercados emergentes de renda fixa desenvolveram-se rapidamente nesta última década. No contexto de mercados de renda fixa, a estrutura a termo da taxa de juros desempenha papel fundamental. No entanto, muitos dos métodos estatísticos e econométricos aplicados a problemas relacionados à estrutura a termo em mercados desenvolvidos não são úteis em mercados emergentes. A maior dificuldade encontra-se normalmente na falta de informações e na baixa liquidez. Neste trabalho,apresentamos uma extensão do modelo de estimação de estruturas a termo em mercados emergentes proposto em Almeida et al.

In the context of studying fixed income markets, the term structure of interest rates appears as a fundamental tool. However, many statistical and econometrics methods used to solve problems related to the term structure in developed markets are not useful in the context of emerging markets. The greatest difficulty is usually related to the lack of information and liquidity. In this work, we present an extension of a model for the estimation of term structures in emerging markets proposed in Almeida et al. [1998], and apply this model to obtain three different applications in fixed income emerging markets: portfolio allocation, term structure evolution and risk estimation. / [es] Mercados emergentes de renta fija se desarrollaron rápidamente en esta última década.

Estimação da estrutura a prazo da curva de rendimentos para Colômbia : aplicação empírica com análise de espectro singular

Cárdenas Ayala, Jenny Carolina January 2016 (has links)
A estimação da estrutura da taxa de juros é relevante por duas razões fundamentais: em primeiro lugar é considerado como um indicador antecipado de política, sendo uma das principais ferramentas para os bancos centrais como instrumento de política monetária; em segundo lugar, através da curva de rendimentos é possível fazer valoração de ativos financeiros. A causa da sua relevância, tanto na área macroeconômica e como no campo financeiro, uma ampla literatura dedicada a estimá-la se desenvolveu. Neste sentido, o objetivo deste documento é a previsão da curva de rendimentos da Colômbia através da metodologia de Spectrum Singular Analysis (SSA) durante o período 2006-2014. Para a previsão são usados parâmetros diários estimados pelo modelo de fatores de Nelson e Siegel (1987). Os resultados indicam ganhos na acurácia preditiva fora da amostra da abordagem de MSSA em relação ao modelo Random Walk e outros benchmarks amplamente usados na literatura, principalmente nos horizontes de previsão mais curtos. Os resultados são estatisticamente significantes. Assim mesmo, observasse que o MSSA se ajusta melhor que os modelos competidores em todos os horizontes para as previsões das menores maturidades. / The estimation of the Yield curve is relevant because of two fundamental reasons: firstly, it is considered an anticipated indicator of economic policies, being one of the principal central banks tools as instrument of monetary policy; secondly, through this estimation it is possible to valuate financial assets. Due to its relevance in the macroeconomics area and the financial field, an extensive literature has been dedicated to its estimation. Concerning that, the goal of this document is to get a prediction of Colombia’s yield curve through the Spectrum Singular Analysis (SSA) from 2006 to 2014. Daily estimated parameters by Nelson and Siegel (1987) factors model are used to obtain the prognostication. Results are statistically significant and indicate gains of the MMSA on the accuracy of previsions out of the sample in relation to the Random Walk competitor model and other benchmarks widely used in literature, mainly on short term previsions. Likewise, we observe that the MSSA method is better adjusted than competitors’ models in all the horizons for the previsions where maturity is lower. / La estimación de la curva de rendimientos es relevante por dos razones fundamentales: en primer lugar es considerado como un indicador anticipado de política económica, siendo una de las principales herramientas para los bancos centrales como instrumento de política monetaria; en segundo lugar, a través de esta es posible realizar valoración de activos financieros. Dada su relevancia tanto en el área macroeconómica como en el campo financiero una amplia literatura ha sido dedicada a su estimación. En este sentido, el objetivo de este documento es la previsión de la curva de rendimientos de Colombia a través de la metodología de Spectrum Singular Analysis (SSA) durante noviembre de 2006 a diciembre de 2014. Para su pronóstico son usados los parámetros diarios estimados por el modelo de factores de Nelson e Siegel (1987). Los resultados son estadísticamente significativos e indican ganancias del método MSSA en la precisión de las previsiones fuera de la muestra principalmente en horizontes de previsión más cortos en relación al Random Walk y otros benchmarks ampliamente usados en la literatura. Así mismo, se observa que el método MSSA se ajusta mejor que los modelos competidores en todos los horizontes para las previsiones donde el vencimiento es menor.

Vysokofrekvenční analýza časové struktury úrokových sazeb / Analysis of Term Structures in High Frequencies

Nedvěd, Adam January 2018 (has links)
This thesis represents an in-depth empirical study of the dependence structures within the term structure of interest rates. Firstly, a comprehensive overview of term structure modelling literature and methods is provided together with a summary of theoretical notions regarding the use of high-frequency data and spectral analysis. Contrary to most studies, the frequency-domain approach is employed, with a special focus on dependency across various quantiles of the joint distribution of the term structure. The main results are obtained using the quantile cross-spectral analysis, a new robust and non-parametric method allowing to uncover dependence structures in quantiles of the joint distribution of multivariate time series. The results are estimated using a dataset consisting of 15 years worth of high-frequency tick-by-tick time series of US Treasury futures. Complex dependence structures are revealed showing signs of both cyclicity and dependence in various parts of the joint distribution of the term structure in the frequency domain.

[en] INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT IN PENSION FUNDS: IMMUNIZATION S LIMITS AND POSSIBILITIES / [pt] GESTÃO DO RISCO DE TAXA DE JUROS EM ENTIDADES DE PREVIDÊNCIA COMPLEMENTAR: LIMITES E POSSIBILIDADES DE IMUNIZAÇÃO

SERGIO JURANDYR MACHADO 18 October 2006 (has links)
[pt] O termo imunização denota a construção de uma carteira de títulos de forma a torná-la imune a variações nas taxas de juros. No caso das entidades de previdência complementar, o objetivo da imunização é distribuir os recebimentos intermediários e finais dos ativos de acordo com o fluxo de pagamentos dos benefícios. Em geral, quanto maior a classe de alterações na estrutura a termo das taxas de juros (ETTJ), mais restritivo se torna o modelo. Embora exista uma vasta literatura sobre o aspecto estatístico e sobre o significado econômico dos modelos de imunização, esse trabalho inova ao prover uma análise detalhada do desempenho comparado dos modelos, sob três perspectivas complementares: o método escolhido, a dimensionalidade e, ainda, o horizonte de investimento. Entretanto, a decisão final do gestor não está restrita à escolha do método de imunização, como também ao horizonte de investimento a ser imunizado, uma vez que outros instrumentos financeiros podem garantir tanto a solvência econômica quanto a financeira. Os limites não operacionais à imunização são analisados por meio da comparação das medianas do relativo de riqueza e da probabilidade de exaustão da carteira. A análise permite concluir que os modelos de imunização tradicional são mais eficientes, especialmente no médio e longo prazo, que os modelos multidimensionais de gestão do risco de taxa de juros. Ademais, demonstra-se que não existem limites naturais à imunização, quando aplicada ao mercado previdenciário brasileiro por um período igual ou inferior a 10 anos. / [en] Immunization is defined as the investment in assets in such a way that the fixed income portfolio is immune to a change in interest rates. In the special case of pension funds, immunization seeks the distribution of the cash inflows in accordance with the outflows represented by the fund´s liabilities. The article compares distinct alternative methods of immunization against the traditional duration-matching strategy. All portfolios were obtained as a result of mathematical programming problems, where the choice of the immunization strategy led to the restrictions imposed on the evolution of the term structure of interest rates. Despite the intensive research related to this subject, there are some gaps to be filled yet, especially those concerned with the investment horizon. That is exactly the main objective of this thesis. The work provides the basis for selecting the most appropriate method for immunization and also demonstrates the superiority of the traditional duration-matching strategy, especially in the medium and long run. Moreover, it is demonstrated that there is no limit other than operational to the immunization process concerning Brazilian markets for investment horizons of less than 10 years.

[en] TERM STRUCTURE OF INTEREST RATES AND MACROECONOMIC DYNAMICS IN BRAZIL / [pt] ESTRUTURA A TERMO DA TAXA DE JUROS E DINÂMICA MACROECONÔMICA NO BRASIL

SAMER FATHI SHOUSHA 28 June 2006 (has links)
[pt] Existe uma relação muito próxima entre variáveis macroeconômicas e a estrutura a termo da taxa de juros no Brasil. Caracterizamos esta relação utilizando a recente abordagem de macro-finanças adaptada para o caso de uma economia emergente. Podemos concluir que (i) a curva de juros possui informações adicionais às de diversas variáveis com relação ao crescimento futuro da economia; (ii) o poder de previsão é crescente com a durabilidade dos bens e é decorrente essencialmente das expectativas de variações futuras na taxa de curto-prazo; (iii) as variáveis cíclicas da economia (hiato do produto, taxa de inflação e variação do câmbio nominal) explicam até 53% da variação das taxas; (iv) o restante das variações, representado por fatores não-observáveis, parece estar relacionado à variação da aversão ao risco internacional e das expectativas de inflação e (v) a noção de grande vulnerabilidade externa da economia brasileira no período estudado é corroborada pelo papel relevante da variação do câmbio nominal, que explica até 41% da variação das taxas. / [en] There is a close relationship between macroeconomic variables and the term structure of interest rates in Brazil. We characterize this relationship using the recent macro-finance approach adapted to the case of an emerging market economy.We find that (i) the yield curve have additional information about future economic growth; (ii) the forecasting power is increasing with the durability of goods and is essentially due to expected variations on short-term interest rates; (iii) cyclical variables (output gap, inflation rate and nominal exchange rate change) explain up to 53% of the variation in bond yields; (iv) the additional variation, represented by unobservable factors, seems to be related to the variation of international risk aversion and inflation expectations and (v) the notion of great external vulnerability of the brazilian economy during the period is confirmed by the strong role of the nominal exchange rate change, which explains up to 41% of the variation in bond yields.
