Estimating one-factor models of short-term interest rates / by Des McManus and David Watt. : FB3-2/99-18E

The main goal of this paper is to determine if Canadian short-term interest rates can be adequately modelled using a one-factor model. For comparative purposes, the appropriateness of one-factor models for the U.S. short-term interest rate is also investigated. Attention is focused on the class of one-factor models proposed by CKLS (Chan, Karolyi, Longstaff, and Sanders (1992)) that includes a wide range of notable one-factor models, though the class does not encompass all possible one-factor models.--Page 2
