We derive a simple expression for the sensitivity of duration, convexity, and higher-order bond risk measures to … effects of term structure level, slope, and curvature shifts on any specific bond risk measure. These results are particularly …

This paper studies dynamic asset allocation with interest rate risk and several sources of ambiguity. The market … consists of a risk-free asset, a zero-coupon bond (both determined by a Vasicek model), and a stock. There is ambiguity about … the risk premia, the volatilities, and the correlation. The investor’s preferences display both risk aversion and …

In this paper, we show that most existing Gaussian dynamic term structure models (GDTSMs) can be nested as special cases under a unified Heath-Jarrow-Morton (HJM)-based framework of GDTSM construction. Our study provides not only a systematic way to examine the commonality of many seemingly...

It is well-known that interest rates are extremely persistent, yet they are best modeled and understood as stationary processes. These properties are contradictory in the workhorse Gaussian affine term structure model in which persistent data often result in unit roots that imply...

In the current reform of interest rate benchmarks, a central role is played by risk-free rates (RFRs), such as SOFR … caplets. Finally, we study hedging in the sense of local risk-minimization when the underlying term structures have stochastic …

This paper presents a theoretical model of the term structure of interest rates based on the monetary policy decision-making process at modern central banks. Evaluations of explicit expressions for the spot and forward rate curve render several important results: (i) Spot and forward rates are...
