In this paper we study forward interest rates in discrete time settings. We consider a family of Heath-Jarrow-Morton type models, introduced by Gall, Pap and Zuijlen, where the forward rates corresponding to different time to maturity are driven by a random field. In this paper we focus on the behaviour of ML estimators of the parameters and related financial and econometric problems. For this we present empirical results based on simulations. These give a contribution to the theoretical financial and statistical results derived in previous papers of the author. (original abstract)
