The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on inflation-adjusted bonds, swaps, and derivatives. The methodology for valuation and risk management of these securities is an application of the foreign currency extension of a standard HJM term structure model. The two “currencies” in...

Many monetary studies on the portfolio balance effect omit its impact to equity returns. Motivated through a simple general equilibrium model, we study how changes in the bond supply affect the overall equity market. Our model predicts that exogenous increases (decreases) in the bond supply...

This paper proposes and estimates a tractable, arbitrage-free valuation model for corporate coupon bonds that includes a more realistic recovery rate process. The existing empirical literature uses a recovery rate process that is misspecified because it includes recovery rates for coupons due...

This paper studies an equilibrium model with heterogeneous agents, asset price bubbles, and trading constraints. Market liquidity is modeled as a stochastic quantity impact from trading on the price. Bubbles are larger in liquid markets and when trading constraints are more binding. Systemic...

This paper derives an equilibrium asset pricing model with liquidity risk. Liquidity risk is modeled as a stochastic quantity impact on the price from trading, where the size of the impact depends on trade size. Under a mild set of assumptions, we prove that an equilibrium price process exists...

This paper derives an equilibrium asset pricing model with endogenous liquidity risk, trading constraints, and asset price bubbles. Liquidity risk is modeled as a stochastic quantity impact on the price from trading, where the size of the impact depends on trade size. Asset price bubbles are...

This paper derives a generalized multiple-factor asset pricing model using only the assumption of no arbitrage. This generalization differs from the standard multiple-factor pricing models in two ways. First, similar to standard models, a traded asset's expected return is linear in a finite...

This paper provides an alternative approach to Duffie and Lando (2001) for obtaining a reduced form credit risk model from a structural model. Duffie and Lando obtain a reduced form model by constructing an economy where the market sees the manager's information set plus noise. The noise makes...

This paper provides a mathematical analysis of how high frequency traders profi t from their speed with respect to the limit order book. We show that their pro ts can be decomposed into two components. The rest is due to their ability to execute market orders at limit order prices and without...
