This dissertation is formed of three essays on the term structure of interest rates. The first essay compares Kalman filter and GMM methodologies for parameter estimation of log-linear term structure models. The second essay develops the maximum likelihood estimation of a deposit insurance pricing model with stochastic interest rates. The third essay examines the empirical performance of an equilibrium model of nominal bond prices with changing inflation regimes.
