We propose a comprehensive measure of systematic risk for corporate bonds as a nonlinear function of robust risk factors and find a significantly positive link between systematic risk and the time-series and cross-section of future bond returns. We also find a positive but insignificant relation...

We re-examine the Fama (1984) puzzle - the finding that ex post depreciation and interest differentials are negatively correlated, contrary to what theory suggests - for eight advanced country exchange rates against the US dollar, over the period up to February 2016. The rejection of the joint...
