This paper studies how volatility affects the risk premium in crude oil futures through a discrete-time term structure model with long-run and short-run GARCH-type volatility components. Estimated using WTI crude oil futures data from January 1990 to July 2016, our model simultaneously matches...

In this paper, a detailed proof is provided for the value of compound options based on geometric Brownian motion with maturity varying yields, maturity varying volatility, and maturity varying interest rates. Most research papers focused on compound options do not address yields on the...

Investors care about the probability density of tomorrow's Government bond yields, while the literature on term structure models has focused on monthly or weekly yields. Past literature has long since documented the Garch-type conditional heteroscedasticity of daily yields, but again the...

We advocate a dynamic approach to monetary convergence to a common currency that is based on the analysis of financial system stability. Accordingly, we empirically test volatility dynamics of the tenyear sovereign bond yields of the 2004 EU accession countries in relation to the eurozone yields...
