Abstract

A New Approach for Determining the Term Structure of Interest Rates. Theory and Empirical Results for the German Bond Market

In this paper we introduce a two-step procedure for the estimation of the term structure of interest rates. In the first step we use a quadratic-linear programming approach in order to determine a discrete discount function. If higher standards are demanded, e.g. a term structure which is several times continuously differentiable, we approximate the corresponding discrete term structure in a second step with splines. Subsequent to a discussion of the procedure, the proposed method is applied within an empirical study for the German market for the sample period 1980 through 1993. The empirical results emphasize the explanatory power of the proposed method. In particular, an out-of-the-sample test proofs the high quality of the method for pricing new issues
