The comovements of the short interest rates in central and east european countries

Martin Scheicher

This paper analyses the short rates of emerging markets in Central and Eastern Europe. We first summarize the institutional framework of money and bond markets. In the empirical section we estimate both univariate and multivariate models. We collect the statistical behavior and discuss the volatility of the series. We then analyze the evidence for the existence of comovements with a number of alternative methods. In brief our main result is that the short rates in Prague, Warsaw and Budapest do not interact with the benchmark instantaneous rate in Germany.

Keywords: correlation, cointegration, volatility, interest rate, emerging markets
