Abstract
In this thesis we show that the best forecast for near future yield curves are
performed with a full specication of our chosen model and for far future yield
curves the forecast is better with a partial specication of the model. We conclude
that the driving factors for the banks' yield curves are not as closely
related to Swedbank's as amongst the other peers which show that Swedbank
stand out in terms of dynamics for the yield curve. We also show why we have
chosen a Nelson Siegel model with ve driving factors by performing a PCA
and we illustrate how we have estimated the 47 free parameters in the model
with a Kalman lter and an optimization algorithm in matlab. If that was not
enough we also validate our model by simulating... (More)
