Abstract: Arbitrage-free Nelson-Siegel model has the simplicity form of the Nelson-Siegel model, while in essence it is one of the affine dynamic term structure model. In this paper, the dynamic behavior of Chinese interest rate term structure is strudied using this model and it is found that its three state factors have the strong explanatory power on the level, slope and curvature factors of bond yield curve. Compared with dynamic Nelson-Siegel model, the Arbitrage-free Nelson-Siegel model is shown to has the excellent out-of-sample forecasting ability.

Key words: interest rate term structure, state factor, fitting, forecast
