RESUMO

The objective of this study is to compare the performance of alternative term structure estimation models applied to the Brazilian market. Methods used were McCulloch (1971 and 1975), Fisher, Nychka and Zervos (1995), Nelson and Siegel (1987) and Fama and Bliss (1987). Model performance was compared through a series of measures following the methodology developed by Bliss (1997). In general manner we found that the McCullochs (1971 e 1975) method shows the better fit to pricing zero coupon bonds
