Estimation of Shadow-Rate Term Structure Models Near the Zero-Lower Bound

Though it is customary to use standard Gaussian term structure models for term structure modelling, this becomes theoretically implausible in cases when nominal interest rates are near zero: Gaussian models can have arbitrarily large negative rates, whereas arbitrage considerations dictate that rate...
