Abstract: The daily structure of the US Treasury Constant Maturity Rates is investigated in this paper by means of fractional integration techniques. Using a version of the tests of Robinson (1994) along with a model selection criterion based on diagnostic tests on the residuals, we show that the behaviour of this series can be captured by I(d) statistical models with the fractional parameter d close to, but smaller than 1, which indicates mean reversion.
