“…There are different approaches to estimating a yield curve, but they are just curve fitting techniques. The literature examines different models and the numerical techniques (e.g., Bliss, 1996;Bolder & Gusba, 2002;Jordan & Mansi, 2003;Bolder, Johnson, & Metzler, 2004;Yallup, 2012;Andreasen, Christensen, & Rudebusch, 2017). These papers focus on the ability of alternative models and methodologies to replicate sets of bond prices.…”
