We use factor augmented predictive regressions to investigate the relationship between excess bond returns and the macro economy. Our application is for the case of United Kingdom. The dimension of the large data set with 127 variables is reduced by the method of principal components and the...

This paper extends the benchmark Macro-Finance model by introducing, next to the standard macroeconomic factors, additional liquidity-related and return forecasting factors. Liquidity factors are obtained from a decomposition of the TED spread while the return forecasting (risk premium) factor...

We estimate a New-Keynesian macro-finance model of the yield curve incorporating learning by private agents with respect to the long-run expectation of inflation and the equilibrium real interest rate. A preliminary analysis shows that some liquidity premia, expressed as some degree of...
