Gaussian affine term structure models attribute time‐varying bond risk premia to changing risk prices driven by the … conditional means of the risk factors, while structural models with recursive preferences credit it to stochastic volatility. We … model with recursive preferences. Our model is affine and has analytical bond prices making it empirically tractable. We use …
