REVISTA ASTURIANA DE ECONOMÍA - RAE Nº 27 2003<br />

ABSTRACT<br />

This work reviews the theoretical and empirical literature on the<br />

term structure of interest rates (TSIR). We classify theoretical<br />

mo<strong>de</strong>ls in macroeconomic ones, interested in <strong>de</strong>termining the<br />

relation between the variables of the economy and the TSIR, and<br />

financial ones, which start from the arbitrage valuation continuous<br />

time. The empirical literature is focused on testing the<br />

Expectations Hypothesis (EH), and on analyzing the term premia.<br />

The first ones generally reject several implications of EH, indicating<br />

the existence of variable term premia. These premia are<br />

analyzed as a function of the risk on the future evolution of the<br />

rates.<br />

Key words: term structure of interest rates, expectations hypothesis,<br />

term premia.<br />
