• Modelling Mortgage Rate Changes with a Smooth Transition Error-Correction Model

  Staff Working Paper 2001-23 Ying Liu

  This paper uses a smooth transition error-correction model (STECM) to model the one-year and five-year mortgage rate changes. The model allows for a non-linear adjustment process of mortgage rates towards their long-run equilibrium.
