The paper by Diebold and Li (2006) addresses the practical issue of forecasting the term structure of government bond yields, utilizing a dynamic model based on the Nelson-Siegel framework. The authors propose a three-dimensional parameterization that captures level, slope, and curvature factors of the yield curve. They demonstrate that their autoregressive models for these factors yield more accurate long-term forecasts compared to standard benchmarks. The study emphasizes the importance of out-of-sample forecasting performance and suggests that their approach, while not arbitrage-free, effectively enhances predictive accuracy in yield curve modeling.
