Abstract:
Faster extended Kalman filter estimations of zero lower bound models of the term structure are possible if the analytic properties of the Jacobian matrix for the measurement equation are exploited. I show that such results are straighforward to incorporate, at least in Monte-Carlo-based implementations, and that will facilitate fast and robust estimations of zero lower bound term structure models with the iterated extended Kalman filter.
