Résumé anglais The Risk-Modified Spread in Modelling the Dynamics of the Long-Term interest Rate : an Application to the German, American and Italian Markets by Giovanna Paladino and Gianluca Salsecci Preliminary unit-root tests on a sample of US, German and Italian monthly data indicate that the spreads between the ten-year and one-month interest rates are not stationary. This result is inconsistent with the pure expectations hypothesis. However, it may be consistent with the Tenri/Risk Premium hypothesis in a context of rational but risk-adverse agents. After specifying the term/risk premium as a function of a selected number of economic policy variables, the risk-modified spread (RMS) is introduced to explain the long-rate dynamics. In the multivariate cointégration approach developed by Johansen (1988), the RMS model is found to have a higher explicative and predictive power than both the pure expectations and random walk hypotheses.
