This paper introduces a new measure of liquidity for equity mutual funds. Our measure, called dynamic liquidity, is a combination of a fund's money flow and its volatility around money flow. We show that a fund's dynamic liquidity score (DLS) is an improved indicator of fund liquidity and can be...

We derive expected bond return equations for various structural credit valuation models with alternative stochastic processes and boundary conditions for default given in Merton [1974], Merton [1976], Black and Cox [1976], Heston [1993], Longstaff and Schwartz [1995], and Collin-Dufresne and...

We derive a simple expression for the sensitivity of duration, convexity, and higher-order bond risk measures to changes in term structure shape parameters. Our analysis enables fixed income portfolio managers to capture the combined effects of term structure level, slope, and curvature shifts...
