Abstract

The objective of our work is to study the term structure of interest rates and the sovereign credit spreads of emerging markets. We develop a model from term structure, credit risk and vector autoregressive models, based on the articles by Ang and Piazzesi (2003) and Ang, Dong and Piazzesi (2005). Those article’s principal innovation is to include and study the relation among macroeconomic variables and state variables of conventional term structure models. Our contributions include simplifying their model, propose a new estimation method, add credit risk, and show results for Brazilian domestic and external markets. Nosso trabalho objetiva estudar a estrutura a termo de juros e o risco de crédito soberano de países emergentes. Para isso desenvolvemos um modelo a partir de modelos de estrutura a termo, de risco de crédito e de vetores auto-regressivos, baseados nos trabalhos de Ang e Piazzesi (2003) e Ang, Dong e Piazzesi (2005). A principal inovação desses artigos é incluir e estudar a relação entre variáveis macroeconômicas e de estado dos modelos de estrutura a termo convencionais. Nossas contribuições incluem simplificar o modelo proposto por eles, propor um novo método de estimação, adicionar risco de crédito e obter resultados para os mercados doméstico e externo do Brasil.
