Metodología dinámica para el cálculo de la curva de rendimientos soberana en moneda nacional

Abstract

In this article we analyze the use of a dynamic methodology to estimate the sovereign yield curve that calculates the Central Bank of Costa Rica. This dynamic methodology is based on the one proposed by Diebold et al. (2006). We compare the performance of this approach, both in-sample and outof- sample, with the methodology that the Central Bank has been using during the last years, which is based on the static parametric methods proposed by Nelson and Siegel (1987) and Svensson (1994). We show that dynamic methodology generates a yield curve estimation that approximates market conditions better than the other methods, especially in those weeks in which we observe less transactions.
