State space decomposition and classification of term structure shapes in the two-factor Vasicek model

Mathematical Finance 2023-03-27 v1

Abstract

Using the concept of envelopes we show how to divide the state space \RR2\RR^2 of the two-factor Vasicek model into regions of identical term-structure shape. We develop a formula for determining the shapes utilizing winding numbers and give a nearly complete classification of the parameter space regarding the occurring shapes.
