Abstract:
We consider a discrete time Heath–Jarrow–Morton-type forward interest rate model, where the interest rate curves are driven by a geometric spatial autoregression field. Strong consistency of maximum likelihood estimators is proved for stable and unstable no-arbitrage models containing a simple stochastic discounting factor.
