Recent findings on the term structure of equity and bond yields pose serious challenges to existing models of … dynamics of equity and bond yields (and their yield spreads). The movements of equity and bond yields are driven mainly by … returns/yields and nominal bond returns/yields switched from positive to negative after the late 1990s, owing mainly to a …

Recent findings on the term structure of equity and bond yields pose serious challenges to existing equilibrium asset … pricing models. This paper presents a new equilibrium model to explain the joint historical dynamics of equity and bond yields … (and their yield spreads). Equity/bond yields movements are mainly driven by subjective dividend/GDP growth expectation …

we label Convergence Gap (CG), contains information that is valuable for bond predictability. Adding CG in forecasting … regressions of bond excess returns significantly raises the R-squared, and restores countercyclical variation in bond risk premia … the path of rates, our factor has predictive ability for real bond excess returns. The importance of the gap remains …

I analyze time series momentum along the Treasury term structure. Past bond returns predict future returns both due to … autocorrelation in bond risk premia and because unexpected bond return shocks increase the premium. Yield curve momentum is primarily … due to autocorrelation in yield changes rather than autocorrelation in bond carry and can largely be captured using a …

Expectations of risky bond payments are unobservable and recovery rates for sovereigns are hard to estimate because …
