In this paper we empirically analyze the impact of transaction costs on the performance of affine interest rate models. We test the implied (no arbitrage) Euler restrictions, and we calculate the specification error bound of Hansen and Jagannathan to measure the extent to which a model is...

In this paper we estimate and interpret the factors that jointly determine bond returns of different maturities in the US, Germany and Japan.We analyze both currency-hedged and unhedged bond returns.For currency-hedged bond returns, we find that five factors explain 96.5% of the variation of...

In this paper we investigate the relation between price impact and trading volume for a sample of stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The parametric VAR-models that have been used in the literature starting with Hasbrouck (1991a, 1991b) impose strong proportionality and symmetry...

In this paper we propose a bivariate model for the trading intensities of two stocks in a particular industry. The model consists of a univariate duration model for the pooled transaction process and a probit-specification for the type of trade. We apply the model to the trading intensities of...
