time-varying vector autoregressive model to describe the dynamics of asset returns. We estimate this model by means of the …. (1978), which enforces the stability of the estimated VAR. Our modelling framework allows to disentangle the time …-varying compensation for expected and unexpected inflation shocks embedded in the sovereign bond yields of Germany, France, Japan and the …

The purpose of this paper is to study the compensation for inflation risks priced in sovereign bond yields. And we do … so by modelling the time-varying dynamics of asset returns and inflation, and then estimating the cost of hedging … inflation risks from the perspective of a well diversified portfolio. This allows to disentangle the time-varying compensation …

We find evidence for time-varying risk premia across international bond markets. Local and global factors jointly … factors. Finally, correlations between international bond risk premia have increased over time, suggesting an increase in … predict returns. The global factor is closely linked to US bond risk premia and international business cycles. Movements in …

This paper studies the co-movement of global yield curve dynamics using a Bayesian hierarchical factor model augmented with macroeconomic fundamentals. Our data-driven approach is able to pin down the drivers of yield curve dynamics and produce plausible term premium estimates. We reveal the...

This paper examines time-varying measures of term premiums across ten developed economies. It shows that a single … factor accounts for most of the variation in expected excess returns over time, across the maturity spectrum, and across … magnitude. These effects are illustrated for three episodes: The period following the Russian default in 1998, the bond …
