Term premia implied by maximum likelihood estimates of affine term structure models are misleading because of small-sample bias. We show that accounting for this bias alters the conclusions about the trend, cycle, and macro-economic determinants of the term premia estimated in Wright (2011). His...

The paper reexamines the empirical relationship between external indebtedness and the interest premium on government bonds. We use a broad sample of countries between 1980-2017 that includes advanced, emerging and less-developed economies. We show that the relationship is strongly...

This paper studies the impact of monetary policy shocks on equity returns and their volatility among nine industries and their affiliated firms in the U.S. We use an extension of the traditional Capital Asset Pricing Model as the analytical framework and approximate policy shocks with the...

We extend the Berry, Levinsohn and Pakes (BLP, 1995) random coefficients discretechoice demand model, which underlies much recent empirical work in IO. We add interactive fixed effects in the form of a factor structure on the unobserved product characteristics. The interactive fixed effects can...
