We analyze the impact of market frictions on trading volume and liquidity premia for finite maturity assets when investors differ in their investment horizons. In equilibrium, illiquidity spills over from short-term to long-term assets and trading concentrates on assets of intermediate maturity....

How should one evaluate investment projects whose CCAPM betas are uncertain? This question is particularly crucial for projects yielding long-lasting impacts on the economy, as is the case for example for many green investments. We define the notion of a certainty equivalent beta. We show that...

We analyze the impact of market frictions on trading volume and liquidity premia of finite maturity assets when investors differ in their investment horizons. In equilibrium, short-horizon investors only invest in short-term assets and illiquidity spills over from short-term to long-term...

We analyze the impact of market frictions on trading volume and liquidity premia of finite maturity assets when investors differ in their trading needs. Our equilibrium model generates a clientele effect (frequently trading investors only hold short-term assets) and predicts i) a hump-shaped...

We develop a two-country international asset pricing model in which investors are heterogeneous. Exchange rate dynamics give rise to a currency risk premium, uncovered interest parity is violated. Countries whose output growth is expected to be sufficient to satisfy growth in demand have high...

This article derives a new formula for the yield elasticity of bond price. The formula provides accurate results without resorting to complex mathematics, and gives new meaning to the concept of duration in fixed-income analysis

We develop a two-country asset pricing model to explain countries' heterogeneous exposure to global risks and how these affect currency risk premia. In the model we consider separately the valuation of countries' consumption baskets from their sharing of risk. A currency's risk depends not only...

Term premiums, defined as the excess return of long-dated contracts over short-dated contracts, in commodity futures are strongly predictable, both in the time series and in the cross section, by roll yield spreads. Strategies that exploit this predictability show sizable Sharpe ratios and are...

We derive expected bond return equations for various structural credit valuation models with alternative stochastic processes and boundary conditions for default given in Merton [1974], Merton [1976], Black and Cox [1976], Heston [1993], Longstaff and Schwartz [1995], and Collin-Dufresne and...
