I provide evidence that risks in macroeconomic fundamentals contain valuable information about bond risk premia. I … account for up to 31% of the variation in excess bond returns. The main predictor factors are associated with point … unemployment rate. In addition, factors provide information about bond risk premia variation that is largely unrelated to that …

This paper studies the impact of ambiguous information regarding future interest rates on bond prices. A simple bond …-pricing model with ambiguity aversion shows that positive bond uncertainty premiums exist, and the interest rate ambiguity affects … the term structure of interest rates and yield volatilities. Consistent with the theory, empirical measures of interest …

In this paper we study empirically the implications of macroeconomic disagreement for the time variation in bond market … bond returns. Using survey data on macroeconomic forecasts of fundamentals spanning interest rates, real aggregates and … of risk so that a single factor proxy for disagreement forecasts bond returns with ℛ2 between 15%- 20%. Secondly, by …

We examine the roles of rational and behavioural factors in explaining long-run premiums/discounts on closed-end funds, using evidence on equity funds from the US and UK. Although the processes by which fund prices converge towards long-run premiums or discounts are similar in the two countries,...

Inspired by Aumann and Serrano (2008) and Foster and Hart (2009), we propose risk-neutral options' implied measures of riskiness and investigate their significance in predicting the cross section of expected returns per unit of risk. The empirical analyses indicate a negative and significant...
