4. Conclusions
In this paper, long-range correlations between interest rates are studied in a relatively large sample of bonds. We have found a clear evidence of long-range dependence and persistence in one year scale. We have also detected the longrange correlation of some typical bonds varying over their maturities, and found some different features compared with other countries, which can be explained with the expectations of fractal market hypothesis. Then we construct a longrange cross-correlation network to study the influence structure between bonds, and find that bond market exhibits segmentation pattern even in long run. What is more, we also detect long-range auto-correlation and cross-correlation in different periods of time. The result suggests a decrease in the degree of autocorrelations but an increase in cross-correlations in recent years, which can be seen as a mark of market maturity.
