I analyze time series momentum along the Treasury term structure. Past bond returns predict future returns both due to … autocorrelation in bond risk premia and because unexpected bond return shocks increase the premium. Yield curve momentum is primarily … due to autocorrelation in yield changes rather than autocorrelation in bond carry and can largely be captured using a …

Yield curve models within the Nelson and Siegel (hereafter NS) class have proven very popular in finance and macrofinance, but they lack a theoretical foundation. In this article, I show how the Level, Slope, and Curvature components common to all NS models arise explicitly from low-order Taylor...

I construct a new dataset of subjective total return expectations at the single stock level using forecast data of sell-side analysts, which I then aggregate at both market and portfolio level. Sell-side analysts' expectations appear to be countercylical, contrarian and less persistent than...

Starting from the discrete-time a ne term structure model by Dai, Le & Singleton (2006), this paper proposes a Radon-Nikodym derivative which implies that factors follow a mixture distribution under the physical measure. The model thus maintains attractive features of an affine relation between...

The CDS-bond basis quantifies the difference in risk premia between credit default swap (CDS) and bond markets. It is …

This paper develops a Monte-Carlo backtesting procedure for risk premia strategies and employs it to study Time-Series Momentum (TSM). Relying on time-series models, empirical residual distributions and copulas we overcome two key drawbacks of conventional backtesting procedures. We create...
