The term structure of interest rates is an instrument that gives us the necessary information for valuing deterministic financial cash flows, measuring the economic market expectations and testing the effectiveness of monetary policy decisions. However, it is not directly observable and needs to...

Desde la publicación del trabajo de Vasicek y Fong (1982) se ha generalizado el ajuste de la estructura temporal de tipos de interés asumiendo que los rendimientos son homocedásticos. En este trabajo se muestra que dicha hipótesis no se mantiene cuando los activos presentan diferencias en...

In a seminal paper, Dechow, Sloan and Soliman (2004) develop a price-implied measure for equity duration and for its estimation they employ parsimonious but relatively crude procedures. Hence, these authors claim that improvements in procedures should lead to more accurate and useful estimates...

In this paper we estimate the transmission of common euro area monetary policy shocks across the euro area main stock markets. To do so, we develop global SVAR models in which the ECB monetary policy is modeled as a function of euro area aggregate variables and the US variables that define the...

Since the seminal paper of Vasicek and Fong (1982), the term structures of interest rates have been fitted assuming that yields are cross-sectionally homoskedastic. We show that this assumption does not hold when there are differences in liquidity, even for bonds of the same issuer. Lower...

We analyze the empirical pattern of the Ohlson models (1995) focusing on four basic implicit assumptions that support the model: (i) the displacement property, (ii) the goodness of book value as a proxy of the ability of assets and liabilities to generate cash flows, (iii) the conservatism...

We analyze the relationship between the stance of Eurozone monetary policy and the implicit risk aversion in the European Stock market prices. We use a structural vector autoregression (SVAR) model as Bekaert et al. (2013) do for the U.S. market. We adapt this model for the European Stock market...
