Indeed, we show that the factor loadings of the Svensson generalization … cannot be obtained in a standard finance arbitrage-free affine term structure representation. Therefore, we introduce a … closely related generalized Nelson-Siegel model on which the no-arbitrage condition can be imposed. We estimate this new …

Fixed transaction costs and delivery lags are important costs of international trade. These costs lead firms to import infrequently and hold substantially larger inventories of imported goods than domestic goods. Using multiple sources of data, we document these facts. We then show that a...
