The bond yield conundrum: alternative hypotheses and the state of the economy
Eijffinger, Sylvester C W; Mahieu, Ronald J; Raes, Louis - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2010
We study the bond yield conundrum in a macro-finance framework. Building upon a flexible and non-structural macro-finance model, we test the hypothesis that the bond yield conundrum is connected to various sources of uncertainty in the financial markets. Moreover we explicitly test for the role...

The Bond Yield Conundrum : Alternative Hypotheses and the State of the Economy

We study the bond yield conundrum in a macro-finance framework. Building upon a exible and non-structural macro-finance model, we test the hypothesis that the bond yield conundrum is connected to various sources of uncertainty in the financial markets. Moreover we explicitly test for the role of...

Term Structure Persistence
Abbritti, Mirko; Gil-Alana, Luis; Lovcha, Yuliya; … - School of Economics and Business Administration, … - 2012
Stationary I(0) models employed in yield curve analysis typically imply an unrealistically low degree of volatility in long-run short-rate expectations due to fast mean reversion. In this paper we propose a novel multivariate affine term structure model with a two-fold source of persistence in...

Ceballos, Luis; Naudon, Alberto; Romero, Damian - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2014
The downward trend exhibited in Chile’s nominal term structure since 2003 has been a common pattern shared by other developed and developing economies. To understand the behavior of the nominal yield curve in Chile, we rely on an affine dynamic term structure model (DTMS) which allows to...

During the first two years of monetary union, the euro's weakness surprised most market participants. Explanations proliferated ranging from fundamentals such as differences in growth prospects to psychological factors such as herd behaviour, but no single story fully accounts for the observed...

Estimating Term Premia at the Zero Bound: An Analysis of Japanese, US, and UK Yields
Ichiue, Hibiki; Ueno, Yoichi - Bank of Japan - 2013
This paper estimates an affine term structure model (ATSM) and a shadow rate model (SRM) using Japanese, US, and UK data until March 2013. These models produce very different results, which are attributable to the ATSM's neglect of the zero lower bound (ZLB). The 10-year term premium estimated...
