Interest Rate Term Structure Decomposition at the Instrument Level

Brian Barnard

Applied Economics and Finance, 2019, vol. 6, issue 3, 7-27

Abstract: The paper examines term structure decomposition at the instrument level ¨C decomposing term structures for issues as well as the portfolio. Three different implementations are stipulated: axiomatic structural approaches, a sequential approach, and a base structure approach. The three different implementations are evaluated against a portfolio of risk-free government bonds. The goodness-of-fit and smoothness properties of instrument-level term structure decomposition are also considered. The conclusion points to remaining gaps in theory regarding instrument-level term structure decomposition, and considers areas of application ¨C typically bond valuation.
