Nominal Bonds, Real Bonds, and Equity∗
We decompose the term structure of expected equity returns into (1) the real short rate, (2) a premium for holding real long-term bonds, or the real duration premium, the excess returns of nominal long-term bonds over real bonds which reflects (3) expected inflation and (4) inflation risk, and (5) a real cashflow risk premium, which is the excess return of equity over nominal bonds. The shape o...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Inflation-Linked Bonds
Inflation-linked bonds have gained notoriety in recent years. The global volume has increased tenfold in the past decade, with the United States, the United Kingdom, and France among the largest issuers of these securities. Inflation-linked bonds (commonly known as linkers) are a unique asset class in that it is one of the few that offers a nearly perfect (direct) hedge against inflation, while...
متن کاملSocietal Benefits of Nominal Bonds
In this paper, I provide a possible explanation of why nominally risk-free bonds are essential in monetary economies. I argue that the role of nominal bonds is to serve as record-keeping devices in intertemporal exchanges of money. I show that bonds can only serve this role if they are illiquid (costly to exchange for goods). Finally, I show that in economies in which nominal bonds are essentia...
متن کاملBond futures, inflation-indexed bonds, and inflation risk premium
We propose a new approach to measuring long-run inflation risk, the inflation risk premium, and inflation expectations for the UK over the period 1985–2012. By adding long-term bond futures to the information set of inflation-indexed and nominal bonds, inflation risk is measured as an incremental time-varying covariance obtained from a trivariate GARCH model with dynamic conditional correlation...
متن کاملPolicies Convertible Bonds and Stock Liquidity
This paper shows that the probability of exercise of convertible bonds issued against a firm’s stock directly affects the liquidity of the stock itself. Using the ratio of absolute stock return to its dollar volume as a proxy for stock liquidity I demonstrate that there is a direct and positive relationship between conversion probability and stock liquidity while controlling for firm size, book...
