摘要

Three paradoxes have arisen from empirical tests of the expectations hypothesis of the term structure of interest rates [EHTS]. One paradox is that different tests yield different inferences. Another paradox is that tests of the EHTS using different lengths of maturity for the long-term instrument provide contradictory conclusions. The fact that different data produce different inferences about the expectations hypothesis represents a third paradox. Several explanations for the existence of these paradoxes have been offered. It is possible that the specifications of EHTS-implied relationships relating the changes in the interest rates with the spread between the short-term and long-term interest rates are at fault. Another possibility is that the econometrics used to test for specified relationships derived from EHTS is incorrect. A third possibility is that the path of the short-term interest rate has been modeled incorrectly. It is the third possibility that serves as the focus of this dissertation.; Inferences about EHTS under various data-generating processes for the short-term interest rate are examined. Tests of EHTS are conducted with two conventional specifications of the relationships relating changes in interest rates to the spread. Because standard hypothesis tests based on the t-distribution may be invalid in the presence of serial correlation in the data, critical values employed in testing EHTS are obtained via Monte Carlo simulation. It is found that the inference about EHTS is dependent upon the model of the time path of the short-term interest rate. Under some models, EHTS cannot be rejected for any length of maturity of the long-term instrument for any data set tested for either test employed. Under other models, EHTS is rejected under some conditions and not rejected under others. A contribution of this dissertation is the discovery of possible explanations as to why no final conclusion has yet been reached regarding EHTS.
