This paper analyzes how the combination of borrowing constraints and idiosyncratic risk affects the equity premium in an overlapping generations economy. I find that introducing a zero-borrowing constraint in an economy without idiosyncratic risk increases the equity premium by 70 percent, which...

Surprisingly, prior literature finds little predictive power of oil price changes on bond … shocks predict negative real bond risk premium and positive inflation risk premium. Since these two effects offset each other …, we observe insignificant effect on the bond risk premium. A two-sector New Keynesian model shows theoretically that real …

Gaussian affine term structure models attribute time‐varying bond risk premia to changing risk prices driven by the … model with recursive preferences. Our model is affine and has analytical bond prices making it empirically tractable. We use … particle Markov chain Monte Carlo to estimate the model, and find that time variation in bond term premia is predominantly …

It is shown how to construct an arbitrage-free short rate model under uncertainty about the drift and the volatility. The uncertainty is represented by a set of priors, which naturally leads to a G-Brownian motion. Within this framework, it is shown how to characterize the whole term structure...

This paper examines both intertemporal and contemporaneous relationship between excess US Treasury futures returns and realized moments - realized volatility, realized skewness and realized kurtosis using high-frequency data. We find realized skewness to have significant negative effect on...

We examine time-varying explanatory power of realized moments on subsequent bond futures excess returns using more than … 12 years of high-frequency data from U.S. and German sovereign bond markets. We detect realized volatility and realized … traditional bond return predictors such as term or default spreads. Most importantly, we reveal the bond excess return …

This paper reexamines the issue of unspanned stochastic volatility (USV) in bond markets and the puzzle of poor … relative pricing between bonds and bond options. I make a distinction between the "weak USV" and the "strong USV" scenarios …-Gaussian model (a non-USV model) estimated without bond options data can capture much of the movement in bond option prices. Dropping …
