We have developed Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods for inferences of continuous-time models with stochastic volatility and infinite-activity Leacute;vy jumps using discretely sampled data. Simulation studies show that (i) our methods provide accurate joint identification of...

We study the relation between macroeconomic fundamentals and asset pricing through the lens of a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model. We provide full-information Bayesian estimation of the DSGE model using macroeconomic variables and extract the time-series of four latent...

We study optimal monetary policy, macro dynamics and their implications on the term structure of interest rates in a continuous-time New-Keynesian model. With a quadratic cost function and regime-dependent monetary discount rates, the time-consistent optimal monetary policy is regime-dependent...

We study the time-varying nature of US monetary policies summarized by the Taylor rule based on a continuous-time regime-switching term structure model. In this model, the spot rate follows the Taylor rule and government bonds at different maturities are priced by no-arbitrage. We allow the...
