DP14774 The term structure of CIP violations
We quantify the impact of risk-based and non-risk-based intermediary constraints (IC) on the term structure of CIP violations. Using a stochastic discount factor (SDF) inferred from interest rate swaps, we value currency derivatives. The wedge between model-implied and observed derivative prices reflects the impact of non-risk-based IC because our SDF incorporates risk-based IC. There is no wedge at short horizons, while the wedge accounts for 30% of long-term CIP violations. Consistent with IC theory, the wedge correlates with the shadow cost of intermediary capital, and the SDF-implied interest rate is a weighted average of collateralized and uncollateralized interest rates.
