Theory of long-term interest rates

International Journal of Financial Engineering (IJFE), 2016, vol. 03, issue 03, 1-18

Abstract: This paper develops a general framework for deriving an arbitrage-free interest rates term structure related to long maturities that are not observed (traded) in the market. The original contribution is that the obtained long-term curve depends on variables that can be observed in the market or can be derived from it, avoiding the necessity of establishing arbitrary assumptions related to the ultimate long-term rate and how the convergence takes place.
