Using Tips Yields

John Orford
Hey Guys,

I translated a CPIBond example from C to Python and noticed that it solely uses inflation swap market data to create the inflation term structure.

Is it possible to use tips yields instead?  (I tried the deposit helper without success)

I am guessing swap data is generally more liquid in any case?

If anyone can throw some light on CPIBonds in Quantlib in general that'd be fantastic.

John

Hi John,
while it is 'clear' how to discount inflation swaps, the credit spread
to be used for TIPS would easily dilute your inflation curve, wouldn't
it ?
