The Affine Arbitrage-Free Class of: Nelson-Siegel Term Structure Models Author info | Abstract | Publisher info | Download info | Related research | Statistics Jens H. E. Christensen

registered author(s):
We derive the class of arbitrage-free affine dynamic term structure models that approximate the widely-used Nelson-Siegel yield-curve specification. Our theoretical analysis relates this new class of models to the canonical representation of the three-factor arbitrage-free affine model. Our empirical analysis shows that imposing the Nelson-Siegel structure on this canonical representation greatly improves its empirical tractability; furthermore, we find that improvements in predictive performance are achieved from the imposition of absence of arbitrage.
