Several prepayment methodologies and models were analyzed to find a method to enhance the forecasting of mortgage prepayments. It was determined that the mortgage prepayment model developed in this paper provides a better estimation of prepayments when homeowner's have a positive financial incentive to prepay their mortgage.iv, 62 leavesBTDapplication/pdfenIn Copyrightcash flowmortgage prepaymentLD5655.V855 1995.L378Thesishttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-05092009-040608/
