问题如下:
Tyo says: Spot rates are determined through the process of bootstrapping. It entails backward substitution using par yields to solve for zero-coupon rates one by one, in order from latest to earliest maturities.
Did Tyo accurately describe the process of bootstrapping?
选项:
A.Yes
B.No, with respect to par yields
C.No, with respect to backward substitution
解释:
C is correct.
考点:考察利用Par rate curve计算Spot rate
解析:Tyo说到在用Par yield计算Spot rate时,使用Bootstrapping方法,这点是正确的。但说到, Bootstrapping的方法是Backward substitution的,即由长期 (latest maturity)向早期(Earliest maturity)推导计算出来Spot curve,这点是错误的。
Par yield计算Spot rate应该是Forward substitution,即由早期(Earliest maturity)的利率向长期(latest maturity)的利率推导。
请问老师:“ It entails backward substitution using par yields to solve for zero-coupon rates one by one ”这句话,根据par rate 求spot rate 应该是付息债券,即par bond呀,不应该是zero coupon bond呀?请老师解释一下,谢谢!
