Abstract

Les anticipations de taux d'intérêt révélées par les enquêtes de Consensus Forecasts auprès d'experts sur le marché de l'Eurofranc ne vérifient pas l'hypothèse de rationalité. Elles résultent d'un processus mixte fondé sur une complémentarité entre les modèles anticipatifs traditionnels adaptatif, régressif et extrapolatif augmentés d'effets macroéconomiques (prix, revenu, monnaie). En utilisant une représentation espace-état dans le but de rendre compte de la part inobservable de l'actif long dans le portefeuille, on montre que ces anticipations vérifient la relation de structure par terme de taux fondée sur la théorie du choix de portefeuille : (i) la prime de risque dépend de la variance du taux court et de la covariance entre ce dernier et l'inflation, (ii) les valeurs estimées des coefficients du spread et d'aversion sont conformes à la théorie. Toutefois, l'ajustement des taux de marché sur la relation d'équilibre de portefeuille ne s'effectue que progressivement, ce phénomène pouvant être attribué à l'existence de coûts de transaction.
