| Abstract: | This paper re-examines volatility tests of the expectations model of the term structure of interest rates. In a multivariate vector autoregression (VAR) including interest rates, prices, money and output, the authors find that the long-term interest rate overreacts to all transitory shocks, and underreacts to all permanent shocks, irrespective of the number of unit roots and the cointegration structure of the system. |
