Written by one of the leading experts in the field, this book focuses on the interplay between model specification, data collection, and econometric testing of dynamic asset pricing models. The first several chapters provide an in-depth treatment of the econometric methods used in analyzing...

This paper explores the impact of simultaneously enforcing the no-arbitrage structure of a Gaussian macro-finance term structure model (MTSM) and accommodating measurement errors on bond yield through filtering on the maximum likelihood estimates of the model-implied conditional distributions of...

This paper characterizes, interprets, and tests the over-identifying restrictions imposed in affine models of the termquot; structure. Letting r(t) = euml; Y(t), where Y is an unobserved vector affine process, our analysis proceeds in three steps. First, we show that affine models can be...

We study risk premiums in the US Treasury bond market from the perspective of a Bayesian econometrician RA who learns in real-time from disagreement among investors about future bond yields. Notably, disagreement has substantial predictive power for yields, and RA's risk premiums are less...
