摘要
Theoretical studies have shown that the features of adjustable-rate mortgages are major determinants of the margin. This study uses a large national sample of over 800 adjustable-rate mortgages for the period 1983-1993 to test these relationships. It is shown that only the initial discount and the index are consistently related to the margin. Moreover, these variables explain only a small portion of the variation in the margin.
