Abstract
This paper is an investigation of Australian mortgage loan prepayment from a modelling perspective. A prepayment model for loans of mortgage- backed securities is developed specifically for the Australian mortgage market, and then empirically tested using (Reuters) Australian mortgage-backed security data. The model has origins in the fixed-rate loan prepayment models of the United States, but is designed and developed to take into account the Australian mortgage market structure. The model proves very successful when tested empirically.
