摘要: This paper proposes an asymmetric kernel-based method for nonparametric estimation of scalar diffusion models spot interest rates. We derive the asymptotic theory kernel estimators drift and functions general positive recurrent processes illustrate advantages Gamma bias correction efficiency gains. The finite-sample properties practical relevance proposed bond option pricing are evaluated using actual simulated data U.S.
