Abstract

Predicting Interest Rate Volatility with Regime-Switching Models: An Empirical Analysis of the Euro-Deutschmark Money Market

This contribution analyses the usefulness of the Generalized Regime-Switching-(GRS)-Model proposed by Gray (1996a, 1996b) for modelling and forecasting interest rate volatility in the Euro-Deutschmark money market. The theoretical part of the contribution begins by introducing the GRS model. It turns out that many known models such as GARCH and Markov switching may be regarded as a restricted variant of the GRS model. An empirical comparison with the traditional approaches shows that the GRS model is the superior option for describing the dynamics of the interest rate volatility of both one-month and three-month money. Moreover, one-step forecasts suggest a good out-of-sample performance of the GRS model. Irrespective of the GRS model's complexity, its recursive representation allows it to be implemented easily.
