摘要

The dissertation contains four essays. In the first, co-authored with Dr. Corzo, we use nonparametric techniques to estimate a model of short term interest rate dynamics and to value bonds. We study the case of two European countries—Spain and Italy—that belong to EMU. The pricing errors obtained are smaller than those reported in the parametric literature. Furthermore, our model, which takes into account convergence with Europe of the domestic economies, clearly outperforms more standard models.; In the second essay I show that interest rates follow a mean reverting process but this behavior is present when the level of the interest rate is above some threshold value.; In the third essay, I assume a simple model of exchange rate behavior to derive an expression for the evolution of exchange rates during the transition period to a monetary union. This expression differs depending on whether the economy is in a convergent or nonconvergent state. I estimate a Bayesian model of agent learning where agents use the information available to learn about the parameters of the process and about a possible change in the state. This allows me to infer the evolution of the probability that the market believes the economy to be in the convergent state. I analyze the time evolution of this probability in the context of specific policy actions, commenting on how these actions affected market perceptions in the case of two EU countries, Spain and Sweden.; In the fourth essay, the years of integration of European countries in the Monetary Union are analyzed. I model the convergent behavior of interest rates in European countries by making the change in rates depend on the spread with respect to a European. I use filtering procedures to get estimates of a time varying mean reverting value for the interest rate. I estimate two series of rolling correlations that show the degree of convergence and of concordance of the shocks of the domestic economies. This allows me to analyze how some relevant external events affected the behavior of interest rates during the transition to EMU and how candidate economies were evolving.
