Abstract
In this Paper we estimate jointly a forward-looking reaction function for the three-month rate along with a term structure relationship linking the six-month interest rates to current and expected future three-month rates. In our empirical model the response of the six-month interest rates to current and future three-month interest rates is allowed to depend on uncertainty on monetary policy. The expectation theory cannot be rejected in periods of low uncertainty on monetary policy.
Keywords: Expectations model, forward-looking reaction functions, term structure of interest rates
