An interpretation of an affine term structure model for Chile

Abstract

Este artículo intenta ofrecer una interpretación económica a los factores latentes que determinan los movimientos del retorno de bonos de diferente plazo en un modelo de la estructura de tasas de interés en tiempo continuo y con ausencia de arbitraje para Chile. En el modelo, dos factores latentes explican la dinámica de las tasas de interés, la tasa de interés instantánea y su tendencia central estocástica. Los resultados sugieren que el tramo corto de la estructura de tasas de interés se explica primordialmente por cambios en el primer factor, mientras que el segundo factor explica el tramo más largo de la estructura de tasas. Por lo tanto, si uno considera los factores que explican los movimientos de la estructura de tasas de interés, debería pensar en al menos dos tipos de innovaciones presentes en la economía: innovaciones temporarias que provocan cambios en las tasas de interés de corto y mediano plazo, mucho mayores que los experimentados por tasas de interés de largo plazo, e innovaciones persistentes que tienen efectos sobre el nivel de la estructura de tasas.

This paper attempts to provide an economic interpretation of the factors that drive the movements of interest rates of bonds of different maturities in a continuous-time no-arbitrage term structure model for Chile. The dynamics of yields in the model are explained by two latent factors, namely the instantaneous short rate and its time-varying central tendency. The model estimates suggest that the short end of the yield curve is mainly driven by changes in first latent factor, while long-term interest rates are mainly explained by the second latent factor. Consequently, when examining movements in the term structure, one should think of at least two forces that hit the economy: temporary shocks that change short-term and medium-term interest rates by much larger amounts than long-term interest rates, causing changes in the slope of the yield curve; and long-lived innovations which have persistent effects on the level of the yield curve.
