Esta tese recorre à análise de wavelets para explorar a estrutura de prazo das taxas de juro. A tese sublinha as vantagens das wavelets e argumenta que o seu uso para estudar interações económicas complexas e séries não-estacionárias é muito vantajoso. Adicionalmente, justifica também o recurso à transformada contínua da wavelet. A tese recorre a diversos instrumentos associados à transformada contínua da wavel...
We use wavelet analysis to study the relationship between the yield curve and macroeconomic indicators in Canada. We rely on the Nelson–Siegel approach to model the zero-coupon yield curve and use the Kalman filter to estimate its time-varying factors: the level, the slope and the curvature. Apart from establishing a bidirectional yield–macro relation, the paper broadens the existing literature by exploring the...
