Three studies are summarized that analyze interest rate data from the US and France between 1984-1996. The first study by LS analyzed US spot rates from 1984-1988 and found that a 3-factor model explained 88% of the data. The second by KM and GT analyzed US and French spot and forward rates using 1, 2, and 3-factor models that explained between 92.8-93.7% of the data. A third study analyzed 1-year forward US rates from 1984-1995 using a 5-factor model that explained over 56% of the data.
