Tests for the existence and the sign of the volatility risk premium are often based on expected option hedging errors. When the hedge is performed under the ideal conditions of continuous trading and correct model specification, the sign of the premium is the same as the sign of the mean hedging...

We generalize and extend the long-run risk model by Drechsler and Yaron (201'7 by separating the processes for the jump intensity and the stochastic conditional variance. Furthermore we replace their Ornstein-Uhlenbeck specification for the long-run mean of the conditional variance by a...

We study a long-run risk model with a stochastic consumption growth rate, a stochastic volatility, a stochastic jump intensity, and a stochastic mean reversion level for the latter two processes. First, using a square-root specification instead of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process suggested by...

This paper studies the effects of introducing storable inputs into a general equilibrium model of endogenous growth. We explicitly account for an occasionally binding non-negativity constraint on storage. To solve the model, we rely on global non-linear solution methods, allowing us to make...

Close-to-zero interest rates challenge standard economic models in which zero lower bound (ZLB) is absent. We estimate a recursive utility model which features time-varying latent expected real growth, expected inflation, and stochastic inflation volatility. Using an approximate solution to bond...
