2 1 Motivation 1-1 Interest Rate Essential for pricing derivatives and hedging corresponding risk. A signal of macroeconomic activity. Influenced by macroeconomic variables. Follow unstable dynamic process.

3 1 Motivation 1-2 Classical One-factor Short Rate Models Vasicek Model dr(t) = a{b r(t)}dt + σdw t CIR Model dr(t) = a{b r(t)}dt + σ r(t)dw t r t Mean reversion

7 1 Motivation 1-6 Extended Short Rate Models Three strands of extended interest rate models: Jump-Diffusion Models Regime-Switching Models Time-varying Coefficients Models.

8 1 Motivation 1-7 Outline 1. Motivation 2. Local Adaptive Approach for CIR model 3. Simulations 4. Empirical Study 5. Conclusion

9 1 2-1 Model The time-varying CIR model with θ t = (a t, b t, σ t ) : dr(t) = a t {b t r(t)}dt + σ t r(t)dwt (1) Discretization: r ti+1 r ti = a t {b t r ti } t + σ t rti Z i (2) {Z i } N(, t)

10 1 2-2 Local Parametric Approach (LPA) Given time point t, go back and split time series into K intervals, I I 1 I K, with I k = [t m k + 1, t]. Accept the smallest interval I without change point (i.e. homogeneous interval). Sequentially check the historical intervals to search a change point. Two methods of LPA: Local model selection(lms) and Local change point (LPC).

11 1 2-3 Algorithm of LPC Goal: Find an unknown change point τ in the interval I k. 1. Determine ˆθ = θ. 2. Increase interval to I k, k 1. Get θ Ik. 3. Compare test statistics with critical value. If test statistic is accepted go to step 4, otherwise go to step Let ˆθ = θ Ik, and set k = k + 1, repeat step Detect the change point τ in I k, Iˆk = I k 1 without change point.

12 1 2-4 Why we use LPA? Find the longest stable interval for each t. Allow for structural breaks and jumps in parameter values. Distinguish blooming and declining regimes.

13 1 2-5 Test Statistic Test statistics T Ik+1,τ : T Ik+1,τ = L J ( θ J ) + L J c ( θ J c ) L Ik+1 ( θ Ik+1 ) (3) where J = [τ + 1, t], and J c = [t m k+1, τ], and τ J k = I k \I k 1. Consider the supremum of the test statistics over interval J k : T k = sup τ Jk T Ik+1,τ (4)

14 1 2-6 Test Algorithm T m + k 1 c J T m k τ T mk 1 J T J k + 1 J k I k 1 I k I k +1 1 Figure 4: Construction of the Test Statistics in the Local Change Point Test

15 1 2-7 The criteria for testing homogeneous intervals: T k z k, for k ˆk (5) and T k+1 > zˆk+1. Iˆk is the longest time homogeneous interval for time point t, ˆθ t = θ Iˆk. z k is the critical value, obtained by Monte-Carlo simulations.

16 1 2-8 Risk Bound Parametric risk bound R r (θ ), given the true value θ, for any interval I k, E θ L Ik ( θ Ik, θ ) r R r (θ ) (6) where L Ik ( θ Ik, θ ) = L Ik ( θ Ik ) L Ik (θ ) is the likelihood ratio between the two parameters.

17 1 2-9 Small Modeling Bias Condition The SMB condition for the interval I k, and given some θ Θ: E Ik (θ) (7) and Ik = t I k K{r(t), r(t; θ)} K{r t, r t (θ)} : Kullback-Leibler divergence between P r(t) and P r(t;θ). Oracle Choice k : the largest I k s.t. (7) holds.

18 1 2-1 Propagation Condition and Stability Propagation: E θ L Ik ( θ Ik, ˆθ Ik ) r ρr r (θ ) (8) Stability: I k is accepted interval, then ˆθ Ik = θ Ik L(ˆθ Ik, ˆθ Ik+1 ) z k (9) For fixed, the loss L Ik ( θ Ik, θ ) r stochastically bounded by a constant proportional to e

19 Critical Value Sequential choice of critical values z k. Change point detected at step l k B l : rejection at step l. B l = {T 1 z 1,, T l 1 z l 1, T l > z l } and ˆθ Ik = θ Il 1 on B l, l = 1, 2,, k.

20 Critical Value To determine z 1, max E θ L( θ Ik, θ I ) r 1(B 1 ) ρr r (θ )/K (1) k=1,,k B l only depends on z 1,, z l, controlled by z l. The minimal value ensures max E θ L( θ Ik, θ Il 1 ) r 1(B l ) = ρr r (θ )/K (11) k l R r (θ ) is parametric risk bound.

21 Choice of the Length of Interval I with length m. Interval I k : m k = [m a k ] with a > 1. Results not sensitive to a. r=.5, power of the loss function. ρ=.2, level of the test. m = 4, a = 1.25, and K= 15, m K = 1136.

22 Oracle Property I k is the oracle interval, E Ik (θ), k k, and ˆθ Iˆk close to the oracle estimate θ Ik E log{1 + L I k ( θ Ik, ˆθ Iˆk ) r R r (θ) } ρ + (12) For k > k, the adaptive estimator ˆθ Iˆk satisfies E log{1 + L I k ( θ Ik, ˆθ Iˆk ) r R r (θ) } ρ + + log{1 + zr k R r (θ) } (13)

38 1 Conclusion 5-1 Conclusion Interest rate in recession is more volatile. The selected time homogeneous intervals can not last long due to the complexities of macroeconomy. The LPA can detect jumps and structural break points in the interest rate dynamics. The LPA outperforms the moving window estimation especially in long horizon forecasting.
