An Overview over the Content of This Book -- GB Models and Yield Curves in Traditional Finance, Mathematical Finance and K System -- Pricing Government Bonds and Yield Curves via K Models -- Empirical Effectiveness of the KGB Model as JGB and USGB Pricing Models -- Empirical Effectiveness of...

We propose an affine term structure model that allows for tenor-dependence of yield curves and thus for different risk categories in interbank rates, an important feature of post-crisis interest rate markets. The model has a Nelson–Siegel factor loading structure and thus economically well...

The general problem of asset pricing when the discount rate differs from the rate at which an asset's cash flows accrue is considered. A pricing kernel framework is used to model an economy that is segmented into distinct markets, each identified by a yield curve having its own market, credit...

Recent empirical studies suggest a downward sloping term structure of Sharpe ratios. We present a theoretical framework in continuous time that can cope with such a non-flat forward curve of risk prices. The approach departs from an arbitrage-free and incomplete market setting when different...
