Long memory in interest rate futures markets: a fractional cointegration analysis

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted on the existence of a long-memory relationship between the Eurodollar (ED) and Treasury bill (TB) interest rate futures markets using fractional cointegration analysis. Results indicated that TB and ED may be linked through a fractionally integrated I(d)-type process such that the equilibrium errors between them show slow mean reversion. Results also revealed that the two markets are fractionally cointegrated during the post-crash period.
