We propose and test a new channel that links funding liquidity risk and interest rates in short-term funding markets …. Borrowers with high liquidity risk are willing to pay a markup to lock in their funding, independent of risk premiums demanded … borrowers' funding liquidity risk that lead to systematic and persistent heterogeneity in funding costs. Our results have …

Fluctuations in sovereign bond yields display a large global component which is associated with a rise in uncertainty. We build a model of sovereign default in which shocks to the level and to the volatility of the world interest rate help to account for this phenomenon. We calibrate the model...

International data suggests that fluctuations in the level and volatility of the world interest rate (as measured by the US treasury bill rate) are positively correlated with both the level and volatility of sovereign spreads in emerging economies. We incorporate an estimated time-varying...

Purpose - Nowadays popular algorithmic trading uses many strategies which are algoritmizable and promise profitability. This research assess if it is possible successfully use interest rates sensitivity arbitrage in bond portfolio (also known as convexity arbitrage) in financial praxis. This...

We derive a simple expression for the sensitivity of duration, convexity, and higher-order bond risk measures to … effects of term structure level, slope, and curvature shifts on any specific bond risk measure. These results are particularly …

Keeping in view that the roles of portfolio risk and the relationship between different risky lending assets in loan … valuation have not been studied empirically, this study examines the relationship between undiversiable portfolio risk and … portfolio lending with an attempt to fill the gap between the concept of portfolio risk diversification and the practice of …

empirical test, the undiversifiable risk was measured by the correlation coefficient of one borrower with the average return of … all borrowers. The results of the test supported the hypothesis of portfolio risk pricing and suggest that the spread of … loan required that the spread of loan required by risk-averse lenders is in general higher than the risk premium of the …

It is well-known that interest rates are extremely persistent, yet they are best modeled and understood as stationary processes. These properties are contradictory in the workhorse Gaussian affine term structure model in which the persistent data often result in unit roots that imply...

Modeling short-term interest rates as following regime-switching processes has become increasingly popular. Theoretically, regime-switching models are able to capture rational expectations of infrequently occurring discrete events. Technically, they allow for potential time-varying stationarity....
