In this paper, we examine the yield premium of green bonds. We use a matching method, followed by a two-step regression procedure, to estimate the yield differential between a green bond and an otherwise identical synthetic conventional bond from July 2013 to December 2017. The results suggest a...

Purpose – This paper aims to study the market dynamics of corporate bond yield spread in India and tried to identify the possible factors affecting bonds' liquidity, credit quality and therefore their yield spreads.Design/methodology/approach – A large sample of daily corporate bond trade...

Yield curves are used to imply the forward rates and discount factors from market tradable instruments and are required to discount future cash flows and evaluate the price of all financial contracts. Not all instruments can be included in the yield curve calibration or fitting process, hence we...

Duration and convexity are important measures in fixed-income portfolio management and help develop methodologies in interest rate risk management. This article presents empirical test of duration and convexity of Zero-Coupon Bonds( ZCBs )at NSE in order to determine sensitivity of ZCBs prices...

Duration and convexity are important measures in fixed-income portfolio management and help develop methodologies in interest rate risk management. This article presents valuation of corporate Bonds on Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and empirical test of duration, modified duration and convexity of...

Traditional carry trade strategies are based on differences in short-term interest rates, neglecting any other information embedded in yield curves. We derive return distributions of carry trade portfolios among G10 currencies, where the signals to buy and sell currencies are based on summary...

We estimate time-varying expected excess returns on the US stock market from 1983 to 2008 using a model that jointly captures the arbitrage-free dynamics of stock returns and nominal bond yields. The model nests the class of affine term structure (of interest rates) models. Stock returns and...

We present estimates of the term structure of inflation expectations, derived from an affine model of real and nominal yield curves. The model features stochastic covariation of inflation with the real pricing kernel, enabling us to extract a time-varying inflation risk premium. We fit the model...

We introduce the Homoscedastic Gamma [HG] model where the distribution of returns is characterized by its mean, variance and an independent skewness parameter under both measures. The model predicts that the spread between historical and risk-neutral volatilities is a function of the risk...
