Modeling the conditional distribution of interest rates as a regime-switching process
Article Abstract:
A generalized regime-switching model (GRS) is developed for the short-term interest rate. The short rate has a different degree of mean reversion and a different form of conditional heteroskedasticity in each regime. The form of each regime is general with certain specifications. A first order Markov process with state-dependent transition probabilities governs the switching between the regimes.
