The expectations theory of the term structure implies that the spread between a longer-term interest rate and a shorter … the longer-term bond tends to fall, contrary to the expectations theory; at the same time, the shorter-term interest rate … tends to rise, just as the expectations theory requires.

We find that augmenting a regression of excess bond returns on the term structure of forward rates with a rolling estimate of the mean realized jump size - identified from high-frequency bond returns using the bi-power variation technique - substantially increases the R2 of the regression. This...

We present a discrete time model of expected bond returns (EBR). These are ex-ante expectations implied by the market prices and the data set available when bond prices are quoted. The model can be used to estimate the rating-adjusted EBR, its risk premium components, including a certainty...
