This paper tries to empirically investigate whether macroeconomic risk may be statistically useful in explaining long-term volatility of interest rate swap (IRS) in korean market. This paper uses the component-jump model to estimate long-term volatility of IRS from 1/2/2003 to 1/31/2013. By using the component-jump model, the IRS volatility is decomposed into a long-term and a short-term component. According to this study, slope of yield curve and foreign exchange volatility as a proxy of macroeconomic risk have been significant in explaining long-term volatility of IRS.

This chapter discusses multiple definitions of the yield curve and provides a conceptual understanding on the construction of yield curves for several markets. It reviews several definitions of the yield curve and examines the basic principles of the arbitrage-free pricing as they apply to yield curve construction. The chapter also reviews cases in which the no-arbitrage assumption is dropped from the yield curve, and then moves to specifics of the arbitrage-free curve construction for bond and swap markets. The concepts of equilibrium and market curves are introduced. The details of construction of both types of the curve are illustrated with examples from the U.S. Treasury market and the U.S. interest rate swap market. The chapter concludes by examining the major changes to the swap curve construction process caused by the financial crisis of 2007–2008 that made a profound impact on the interest rate swap markets.
