This paper quantifies how variation in real economic activity and inflation in the U.S. influenced the market prices of level, slope, and curvature risks in U.S. Treasury markets. We develop a novel arbitrage-free dynamic term structure model in which bond investment decisions are influenced by...

This article develops an empirical methodology to determine which economic shocks span risk in asset returns and … identifies economic shocks. The choice of identifying restrictions is based on the properties of the term structure of risk in … multiple sources of risk in the variance of consumption growth. Both types of news are almost equally important for the …

Dynamic economic models make predictions about impulse responses that characterize how macroeconomic processes respond to alternative shocks over different horizons. From the perspective of asset pricing, impulse responses quantify the exposure of macroeconomic processes and other cash flows to...

This paper investigated the macroeconomic effects of fiscal policy shocks in Ethiopiausing a Bayesian Vector Auto Regression model. We examined the dynamic responsesof output, inflation, interest rate and exchange rate to fiscal policy shocks employingquarterly data from 2000/01Q1 to 2015/16Q4....

This paper proposes a joint methodology for the identification and inference of structural vector autoregressive models in the frequency domain. We show that identifying restrictions can be written naturally as an asymptotic least squares problem (Gourieroux, Monfort and Trognon, 1985) in which...

In this study, we test whether three popular measures for monetary policy, that is, Romer and Romer (2004), Barakchian and Crowe (2013), and Gertler and Karadi (2015), constitute suitable proxy variables for monetary policy shocks. To this end, we employ different test statistics used in the...

In order to identify structural shocks that affect economic variables, restrictions need to be imposed on the parameters of structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) models. Economic theory is the primary source of such restrictions. However, only over-identifying restrictions can be tested with...
