Book excerpt: This thesis builds a stochastic volatility model for the term structure of interest rates, which is also known as the dynamics of the yield curve. The main purpose of the model is to propose a parsimonious and plausible approach to capture some characteristics that conform to some empirical evidence and conventions. Eventually, the development reaches a class of multivariate stochastic volatility models, which is flexible, extensible, providing the existence of an inexpensive inference approach.
