Abstract: This paper presents a consistent and arbitrage-free multifactor model of the term structure of interest rates in which yields at selected fixed maturities follow a parametric muitivariate Markov diffusion process with “stochastic volatility.” the yield of any zero-coupon bond is taken to be a maturity-dependent affine combination of the selected “basis” set of yields. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions on the stochastic model for this affine representation. We include numerical techniques for solving the model, as well as numerical techniques for calculating the prices of term-structure derivative prices. the case of jump diffusions is also considered.

Estimating inflation risk premia using inflation-linked bonds: a review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of studies that estimate the inflation risk premium using inflation-linked bond (ILB) yields and present a discussion of current literature developments, such as the zero lower bound and an outline for future research directions.

Do Macroeconomic Variables Forecast Bond Returns
TL;DR: In this article, a single macro index consisting of inflation, real activities and money can predict annual excess bond returns of 1-5 year maturities with R-squares up to 37%.

Time-Consistent No-Arbitrage Models of the Term Structure
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors develop and empirically explore a model of the term structure that captures as well as possible the time-series dynamics of a set of state variables and fits exactly the date-to-date cross-sections of bond prices.

The Pricing of Options and Corporate Liabilities
Fischer Black,Myron S. Scholes +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical valuation formula for options is derived, based on the assumption that options are correctly priced in the market and it should not be possible to make sure profits by creating portfolios of long and short positions in options and their underlying stocks.

A Theory of the Term Structure of Interest Rates.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use an intertemporal general equilibrium asset pricing model to study the term structure of interest rates and find that anticipations, risk aversion, investment alternatives, and preferences about the timing of consumption all play a role in determining bond prices.

An equilibrium characterization of the term structure
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived a general form of the term structure of interest rates and showed that the expected rate of return on any bond in excess of the spot rate is proportional to its standard deviation.
