This paper extends the empirical investigation of Tronzano (2018 b), applying a cointegration test allowing for a structural break in the long-run equilibrium relationship. In line with Tronzano (2018 b), the null hypothesis of absence of cointegration is strongly rejected for all interest rates maturities, while a significant structural break is detected at the end of 2008. A decrease in risk premium components is documented after the 2008 structural break, while the “symmetry” restriction is only supported after this regime-shift. Overall, the policy prescriptions from this analysis are in line with those outlined in Tronzano (2018 b), supporting a monetary policy strategy based on interest rate smoothing.

Abstract
This paper extends the empirical investigation of Tronzano (2018 b), applying a cointegration test allowing for a structural break in the long-run equilibrium relationship. In line with Tronzano (2018 b), the null hypothesis of absence of cointegration is strongly rejected for all interest rates maturities, while a significant structural break is detected at the end of 2008. A decrease in risk premium components is documented after the 2008 structural break, while the “symmetry” restriction is only supported after this regime-shift. Overall, the policy prescriptions from this analysis are in line with those outlined in Tronzano (2018 b), supporting a monetary policy strategy based on interest rate smoothing.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
