| Sumario: | [eng] The evolution of market interest rates is a key component of the trans-mission of monetary policy. Central Banks, market participants and monetary policy practitioners make use of the information contained in financial prices to better understand market interest rates develop-ments. Such a comprehensive and quantitative assessment might also be derived from option-implied probability density functions (PDFs), and in particular when applied to Euribor options, which constitute a natural complement to the existing financial market indicators. A number of methods for constructing these option-implied PDFs have already been developed in the literature. In general, although these methods might differ in the extremes of the tails of the distribution, there is no major difference in the central section of the estimated option-implied PDFs. And, arguably it is the central section of the option-implied PDFs which is more likely to be useful for monetary policy purposes, in contrast to financial stability analysis, where there may be greater focus on the tails of the distribution. In particular, such option-implied PDFs have not been studied in detail during periods of financial crisis, where arguably they may be the most useful. In general, the methods that have been used to construct and estimate implied densities are "risk-neutral". Hence, they are indifferent regarding the investor behaviour and do not include a risk premium component. Some authors have already extended these methods to create "real-world" option-implied PDFs which incorporate the investor behaviour and take into account the risk premium component. However, there is very little research analysing and comparing the differences between these two densities in the Euribor market and, in particular, around episodes of crisis or monetary policy decisions. By using anon-parametric technique, based on the Bliss and Panigirzoglou methodology, this thesis presents an analysis of PDFs for Euribor outturns in three months’ time, using ”risk-neutral” and ”real-world” option-implied PDFs. This type of analysis allows us to reveal typical market reactions which could be potentially used by central banks as a complement to the already existing tools that allow them to take monetary policy decisions. * A quantitative mirror on the Euribor market using implied probability density functions.
