Aug 3, 2013 at 2:24 comment added Matt Wolf the choice of model always should be determined by the specific use case. If you model product with a duration of 30-50 years then sure you are most likely right to assume a long-term mean of around 5%. But if you look to model interest rate products with, let's say, 2 years of maturity then you should hardly plug in a 5% rate in this current environment. Hence some models assume a time varying mean.
Aug 2, 2013 at 21:11 comment added tjahrenholz @MattWolf Thanks for the link. I didn't mean to suggest that rates don't vary with time, but that the rate mean doesn't vary with time. For example, in this chart, rates have an average around 5%

Aug 2, 2013 at 2:46 comment added Matt Wolf Since when are interest rates insulated from time-varying changes? tradingeconomics.com/united-states/interest-rate (chose the start date to be 1971, long-term enough?)
