Bond excess returns can be predicted by macro factors, however, large parts remain still unexplained. We apply a novel … term structure model to decompose bond excess returns into expected excess returns (risk premia) and the unexpected part … possible determinants of bond excess returns. We find that the expected part of bond excess returns is driven by macro factors …

The neo-Fisherian view does not consider a negative interest rate gap a prerequisite for boosting inflation. Instead, a … negative interest rate gap is said to lower inflation. We discuss this counterintuitive response - known as the Fisher paradox …
