We greatly expand the space of tractable term-structure models. We consider one example that combines positive yields with rich volatility and correlation dynamics. Bond prices are expressed in closed form and estimation is straightforward. We find that the early stages of a recession have...

This paper develops an equilibrium model featuring heterogeneity in investor risk tolerance across different risk sources. Using Australian data, it confirms the theoretical predictions of the model, by showing that a higher imputation credit yield in one year leads to a lower stock return in...

Interest rate forecasting remains vexing because of the lower bound. A few tractable models are available, but they offer limited or restrictive volatility dynamics. In response, we build on the popular dynamic Nelson-Siegel approach to greatly expand the space of term-structure models that are...
