  Parameter Estimation for the CIR model
This paper uses the equilibrium model of the term structure of interest rates based on the framework of Cox, Ingersoll and Ross (CIR, 1985). The contributions of this paper to the literature are empirical and the purpose is to derive estimates of parameters that fit the Continuous time CIR model using the available discrete market data of the yield curve. CIR one-factor model allows the conditional mean (drift) and conditional variance (diffusion) to be functions of the current short rate. The parameters have been estimated over different data sets, time periods and estimation techniques.  Download
