主 题:Real Time Macro Factors in Bond Risk Premium
演讲者:Phd. Guoshi Tong Assistant professor of Finance, Renmin University
摘 要:The notion that bond risk premium varies with business cycles is challenged once real time macro data are used. We argue that the macro PCA factors are designed to explain the most variation of macro variables not the variation of bond risk premium, and propose a scaled PCA (sPCA) approach that incorporates bond risk premium information when extracting factors. The sPCA factors significantly forecast bond returns in an out-of-sample, and generate sizeable utility gains. The sPCA factors also strongly nowcast macro data revision and forecast future macroeconomic conditions. Consistent with theory, the forecasted bond risk premium is counter-cyclical.
