Linkages among Interest Rates in the United States, Germany and Norway

Abstract: The Johansen multivariate cointegration methodology is used to analyze relationships among short‐term and long‐term interest rates in the United States, Germany and Norway. A variance decomposition approach is applied to estimate the proportion of each interest rate's forecast error variance attributable to innovations in the other interest rates. Impulse response functions are plotted to illustrate the speed with which interest rate events are transmitted between capital markets. The analyses illustrate that … Show more

“…With regard to the long-run comovements among interest rates that were previously reported in the literature, we confirm the finding that cointegration is found only in the minority of the cases (RomeroAvila (2007); Zhou (2003); Bremnes et al (2001)) and in special circumstances (Poghosyan and de Haan (2007)). Concerning comovements in the short-run, our results suggest that more positive evidence reported in Kugler and Neusser (1993) cannot be generalized for all interest rates, time periods, and reasonable alternative estimation procedures.…”

“…Among many others, Hall et al (1992), Bremnes et al (2001) and Hansen (2003) find that stationarity of the spreads is often not reflected in US data. The larger the difference in maturity the more often this outcome occurs.…”

“…As such, nominal interest rates have been treated as integrated of order one in numerous empirical papers, including Karfakis and Moschos (1990), Bremnes et al (2001), Chong et al (2006), Kleimeier andSander (2006), De Graeve et al (2007) and Liu et al (2008). For theoretical purposes, the unit-root assumption can also be a useful modelling device to capture stylistically the highly persistent nature of interest rates in …nite samples, exempli…ed by Cogley and Sargent's (2001) approach to modelling the dynamics of a system of macroeconomic variables.…”
