Abstract: In this paper we examine a consistency problem for a multi-factor jump diffusion model. First we bridge a gap between a jump-diffusion model and a generalized Heath-Jarrow-Morton (HJM) model, and bring a multi- factor jump-diffusion model into the HJM framework. By applying the drift condition for a generalized arbitrage-free HJM model, we derive the general consistency condition for a jump-diffusion model. Then we consider the case that the forward rate function has a separable structure, and obtain a specific version of the general consistency condition. In particular, we provide the necessary and sufficient condition for a jump-diffusion model to be affine, which generalizes the result in Duffie and Kan (1996). Finally we discuss the Nelson-Siegel type of forward curve structure, and give the necessary and sufficient condition for the consistency of this class of models in the jump- diffusion case.
