This paper estimates both parametric and non-parametric
proportional hazards models for a subset of Canadian mortgage-backed
security data. The estimated parametric hazard function is
then used to drive exogenous prepayments within an arbitrage-free
model of the term structure of interest rates. Theoretical prices as
well as option-adjusted spreads (OAS) are obtained for three
different mortgage-backed securities using a Monte-Carlo
simulation. Though no formal test is done to compare the ability of
the different hazard models to explain observed market prices, the
non-parametric baseline hazard is more consistent with the age-dependent
prepayment provisions typical of most mortgage
contracts in Canada. / Business, Sauder School of / Real Estate Division / Graduate
