RESUMO

Este estudo usa um modelo intertemporal de equilíbrio geral de precificação de ativos para estudar a estrutura a termo das taxas de juros. Nesse modelo, expectativas, aversão ao risco, alternativas de investimento e preferências quanto ao momento do consumo atuam na determinação dos preços. Muitos fatores tradicionalmente mencionados como influentes sobre a estrutura a termo são, assim, incluídos de uma maneira plenamente condizente com o comportamento maximizador e as expectativas racionais. O modelo leva a fórmulas específicas de preços de debêntures que são bastante adequadas a testes empíricos.

Palavras-chave: Modelo de precificação de ativos, estrutura a termo, debêntures, teoria geral de equilíbrio, teste empírico.

ABSTRACT

This paper uses an intertemporal general equilibrium asset pricing model to study the term structure of interest rates. In this model, anticipations, risk aversion, investment alternatives, and preferences about the timing of consumption all play a role in determining bond prices. Many of the factors tradicionally mentioned as infl uencing the term structure are thus include in a way which is fully consistent with maximizing behavior and rational expectations. The model leads to specifi c formulas of bond prices which are well suited for empirical testing.

Key words: Asset pricing model, term structure, bonds, general equilibrium theory, empirical test.
