Abstract

A number of techniques have been proposed for estimating theterm structure, yet solid theoretical foundations and a comparative assessment of the results produced by these techniques are not available. In the present paper we prove, within a well defined mathematical setting, how the existence ofdiscount factorsis possible only if the condition of absence of staticarbitrageis fulfilled. Besides that we report the results of an extensive set of tests whose scope is to show how the most widely used approaches in this field behave on both real and synthetic data.
