چکیده انگلیسی


• US interest rate term structure is examined using a pairwise econometric approach.
• A probabilistic test statistic lends support to the expectations hypothesis.
• This is based on the percentage of stationary interest rate differentials.
• Maturity gaps negatively affect the stationarity probability and adjustment speed.
• The speed of adjustment has become more sensitive to the maturity gap over time.

The link between short-term policy rates and long-term rates elucidate the potential effectiveness of monetary policy. We examine the US term structure of interest rates using a pairwise econometric approach advocated by Pesaran (2007). Our empirical modelling strategy employs a probabilistic test statistic for the expectations hypothesis of the term structure based on the percentage of unit root rejections among all interest rate differentials. We find support for the expectations hypothesis and provide new insights into the nature of interest rate decoupling which are of value to policymakers. The maturity gap associated with interest rate pairs negatively impacts on the probability of stationarity, and also on the speed of adjustment towards long-run equilibrium. We further show that the speed of adjustment has become more sensitive to the maturity gap over time.
