This paper studies the term structure implications of a simple structural model in which the representative agent displays ambiguity aversion, modeled by Multiple Priors Recursive Utility. Bond excess returns reflect a premium for ambiguity, which is observationally distinct from the risk...

This paper studies the term structure implications of a simple structural economy in which the representative agent displays ambiguity aversion, modeled by Multiple Priors Recursive Utility. Bond excess returns reflect a premium for ambiguity, which is observationally distinct from the risk...

We develop a continuous time general equilibrium yield curve model under ambiguity aversion. Even a moderate level of 'aggregate ambiguity' affects significantly the term structure and can drive the prices of common interest rate derivatives toward the patterns observed in fixed income markets....

We study an equilibrium asset pricing model with several Lucas (1978) trees subject to persistent distress events, where the agent has incomplete information about the state of an underlying common factor and learns from the events occurring to each tree. Contrary to similar asset pricing models...

We study an equilibrium asset pricing model with several Lucas (1978) trees subject to event risk, that is, the possibility that trees experience unexpected disasters. We exploit the market clearing mechanism, in the presence of multiple positive net supply assets, to show that the implications...
