Abstract: We develop a joint maximum likelihood estimator for the interest rate risk premium and the parameters of the Cox, Ingersoll, and Ross bond pricing model. This new approach resolves difficulties inherent in previous approaches that use only time-series data or cross-sectional data. We apply the new approach to a large sample of joint time-series/cross-sectional data. The resulting estimated parameters explain simultaneously the changes in short-term interest rates and the prices of zero-coupon bonds with various maturities. We also identify and provide solutions to potential computational difficulties that other researchers are likely to face. Copyright 1993 by MIT Press.
