Revisiting the Financial Crisis: The Effect of Credit Shocks on Bond Yields Ram Yamarthy∗ New York University Mark J. Bertus Prize Winner From the financial crisis‚ it was apparent that traditional indicators such as real activity and inflation were insufficient to explain spikes in bond yields. I discover the effect of credit indicators on bond yields by estimating a Gaussian six-factor affine model of term structure. One of these factors is a credit variable that I construct using a principal component

Besides‚ because zero-coupon bond is riskless‚ the bondholders are willing to hold it for long-term investment in order to diversity the portfolio. So it is important in the fixed income security market. If a bond trades at a discount‚ its yield to maturity will exceed its coupon rate. Zero coupon bonds always sells at a discount. The sensitivity of a bond’s price to changes in interest rates is measured by the bond’s duration. A bond with high durations，its price is highly sensitive to interest

4 Question 1 We are given two bonds with the same interest rate of 5%‚ and no one of bonds has an embedded option so they will not be exercised prior to the date of maturity. Moreover‚ both bonds are traded in one market and they have identical yield‚ therefore it is irrelevant factor. However‚ two bonds have different term of maturity: bond A matures in 15 years‚ while bond B matures only in 10 years. Fabozzi and Mann (Fabozzi & Mann‚ 2005) stated that the price volatility of the bond is closely

Problems and Solutions 1 CHAPTER 1—Problems 1.1 Problems on Bonds Exercise 1.1 On 12/04/01‚ consider a fixed-coupon bond whose features are the following: • face value: $1‚000 coupon rate: 8% • coupon frequency: semiannual • maturity: 05/06/04 • What are the future cash flows delivered by this bond? Solution 1.1 1. The coupon cash flow is equal to $40 8% × $1‚000 = $40 2 It is delivered on the following future dates: 05/06/02‚ 11/06/02‚ 05/06/03‚ 11/06/03 and 05/06/04. The redemption value

different maturities cannot get too far out of line. 5. If yield curves on average were flat‚ this would suggest that the risk premium on long-term relative to short-term bonds would equal zero and we would be more willing to accept the pure expectations theory. 6. The flat yield curve at shorter maturities suggests that short-term interest rates are expected to fall moderately in the near future‚ while the steep upward slope of the yield curve at longer maturities indicates that interest rates further

(Duration‚ convexity‚ sensitivity). However‚ these tools assume a parallel movement of the yield curve yet it happens that the yield curve changes in a form of a twist or a butterfly -these concepts will be explained later in the report-. So‚ as managing the risk of a portfolio I traced the evolution of the yield curve using a statistical tool named the Principal Component Analysis to see how frequently does the yield curve shift in parallel and if the duration‚ convexity‚ and sensitivity can be still used

Bond Pricing Based on Nelson-Siegel Model ——An Analysis of Varied Parameter τ Introduction Nelson and Siegel (1987) suggest to fit the forward rate curve at a given date with a mathematical class of approximating functions. The model precisely reflects the expected YTM with a flexible yield curve in the Term Structure Theorem. In this paper‚ we test the fitness of NS model and try to evaluate how deeply the NS model performs with different types of bonds via sampling and comparasion. We focus on
