问题如下:
Madison prefers arbitrage-free models. She thinks even though equilibrium models require fewer parameters to be estimated relative to arbitrage-free models, arbitrage-free models allow for time-varying parameters. In general, this allowance leads to arbitrage-free models being able to model the market yield curve more precisely than equilibrium models.
Is Madison correct in describing key differences in equilibrium and arbitrage-free models as they relate to the number of parameters and model accuracy?
选项:
A.Yes
B.No, she is incorrect about which type of model requires fewer parameter estimates
C.No, she is incorrect about which type of model is more precise at modeling market yield curves
解释:
A is correct.
考点:Equilibrium Term Structure Models and Arbitrage-free Models
解析:均衡期限结构模型相对于无套利模型需要较少的参数估计,无套利模型允许时变参数(time-varying parameters)。因此,无套利模型可以比均衡模型更精确地模拟市场收益率曲线。
为啥均衡模型比无套利模型需要更少的参数,从表达式上看,感觉CIS、V、HL模型都差不多,为啥HL是无套利的模型?
