In this paper, we investigate the dynamic response of stock market volatility to changes in monetary policy. Using a … vector autoregressive model, our findings reveal a significant and asymmetric response of stock returns and volatility to … monetary policy shocks. Although the increase in the volatility risk premium, futures-trading volume, and leverage appear to …

the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX). We show that countries' exposure to the global price of risk is related to macroeconomic … risks as measured by output, credit, and inflation volatility, the magnitude of financial crises, and stock and bond market … downside risk. Higher exposure to the global price of risk corresponds to both higher output volatility and higher output …

Two traditional explanations for the mean and variability of the term premium are: (i) time-varying risk premia on long bonds, and (ii) segmented markets between long- and short-term bonds. This paper integrates these two approaches into a medium-scale DSGE model. We consider two sources of...
