Abstract: The threshold model is employed to capture the nonlinearity of the drift term in the models of the term structure of interest rates. A generalized pseudo-likelihood ratio test is introduced to test the threshold CKL,S model. The results show that the threshold CKL,S model can better describe the nonlinearity of the drift term than CKL,S model at 0.1 significant level.

Key words: threshold model, CKLS model, nonlinear, the generalized pseudo-likelihood ratio test
