require to bear the risk of fluctuations in stock market volatility. We develop a model in which stock volatility and … volatility risk-premia are stochastic and derive no-arbitrage conditions linking volatility to macroeconomic factors. We estimate … realized volatility. We find that volatility risk-premia are strongly countercyclical, even more so than standard measures of …

We study American swaptions in the linear-rational (LR) term structure model introduced. The American swaption pricing problem boils down to an optimal stopping problem that is analytically tractable. It reduces to a free-boundary problem that we tackle by the local time-space calculus. We...
