We investigate the factor structure of the term structure of interest rates and argue that characterizing the minimal dimension of the data-generating process is more challenging than currently appreciated. To circumvent these difficulties, we introduce a novel nonparametric bootstrap that is...

A small but ambitious literature uses affine arbitrage-free models to estimate jointly U.S. Treasury term premiums and the term structure of equity risk premiums. Within this approach, this paper identifies the parameter restrictions that are consistent with a simple dividend discount model,...

We examine the impact of cyberattacks on bondholder wealth. Unlike stockholders, bondholders do not react in the short-term but do experience negative returns in the one-month event window. Compared to similar firms not subject to cyberattacks, we find that bondholders lost approximately 2% of...

We consider the risk neutral valuation of fixed term securities lending in a multi-curve framework, taking into account the forward basis of each component of the transaction relative to the discount curve, including basis between currencies. We show that a convexity adjustment arises from the...
