ABM simulates OTC government bond market dynamics, enhancing liquidity and stability.
BondBERT improves sentiment analysis for bond markets.
Repo dealers' market power affects bond prices by up to 2 percentage points.
We propose an option approach for pricing bond illiquidity that is reminiscent of the celebrated work of Longstaff (1995) on the non-marketability of some non-dividend-paying shares in IPOs. This approach describes a quite common situation in the fixed income market: it is rather usual to find issuers that, besides liq…
Investigates how 'green' labels affect bond market dynamics.
We propose a model for the credit markets in which the random default times of bonds are assumed to be given as functions of one or more independent "market factors". Market participants are assumed to have partial information about each of the market factors, represented by the values of a set of market factor informa…

The paper uses option theory to estimate corporate bond liquidity spreads.
Investor optimizes consumption and investment in a bond market described by HJM model.
Study analyzes bond traders' views on equity market dynamics.

Open AI models affect bond yields differently than closed ones.
Green bond leaks impact equity markets, altering investor reactions.
Paper proposes a framework for precise daily default risk prediction of Chinese credit bonds.
There is an observed basis between repo discounting, implied from market repo rates, and bond discounting, stripped from the market prices of the underlying bonds. Here, this basis is explained as a convexity effect arising from the decorrelation between the discount rates for derivatives and bonds. Using a Hull-White …
We introduce a theory of stochastic integration with respect to a family of semimartingales depending on a continuous parameter, as a mathematical background to the theory of bond markets. We apply our results to the problem of super-replication and utility maximization from terminal wealth in a bond market. Finally, w…
Study reveals stylized facts in German bond futures markets.
To construct a no-arbitrage defaultable bond market, we work on the state price density framework. Using the heat kernel approach (HKA for short) with the killing of a Markov process, we construct a single defaultable bond market that enables an explicit expression of a defaultable bond and credit spread under quadrati…
New game theory approach to bond market liquidity and participant behavior.
This paper tackles missing data in Burundian bond market yield curves.
This paper analyses the Chinese Sovereign bond yield to find out the principal factors affecting the term structure of interest rate changes. We apply Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on our data consisting of the Chinese Sovereign bond from January 2002 till May 2018 with the different yield to maturity. Then we wil…
Deep learning speeds CAT bond valuation.
Study bond market making with hit-ratio target using optimal control and HJB equations.
QCML improves bond similarity learning in illiquid markets.
CATNet predicts CAT bond spreads using graph-based deep learning.
We investigate default-free bond markets where the standard relationship between a possibly existing bank account process and the term structure of bond prices is broken, i.e. the bank account process is not a valid numéraire. We argue that this feature is not the exception but rather the rule in bond markets when star…
The completeness problem of the bond market model with the random factors determined by a Wiener process and Poisson random measure is studied. Hedging portfolios use bonds with maturities in a countable, dense subset of a finite time interval. It is shown that under natural assumptions the market is not complete unles…
In corporate bond markets, which are mainly OTC markets, market makers play a central role by providing bid and ask prices for a large number of bonds to asset managers from all around the globe. Determining the optimal bid and ask quotes that a market maker should set for a given universe of bonds is a complex task. U…
Paper finds political networks reduce bond issuance costs in China.
Unified framework matches equity and bond yields.
Hedging strategies in bond markets are computed by martingale representation and the Clark-Ocone formula under the choice of a suitable of numeraire, in a model driven by the dynamics of bond prices. Applications are given to the hedging of swaptions and other interest rate derivatives, and our approach is compared to …
Paper uses machine learning to uncover nonlinear dynamics in CAT bond pricing.
The completeness of a bond market model with infinite number of sources of randomness on a finite time interval in the Heath-Jarrow-Morton framework is studied. It is proved that the market is not complete. A construction of a bounded contingent claim, which can not be replicated, is provided.
A market with defaultable bonds where the bond dynamics is in a Heath-Jarrow-Morton setting and the forward rates are driven by an infinite number of Levy factors is considered. The setting includes rating migrations driven by a Markov chain. All basic types of recovery are investigated. We formulate necessary and suff…
This paper uses RL to optimize bid-ask spreads for illiquid corporate bonds.
We introduce a bond portfolio management theory based on foundations similar to those of stock portfolio management. A general continuous-time zero-coupon market is considered. The problem of optimal portfolios of zero-coupon bonds is solved for general utility functions, under a condition of no-arbitrage in the zero-c…
This paper investigates the presence of long memory in corporate bond and stock indices of six European Union countries from July 1998 to February 2015. We compute the Hurst exponent by means of the DFA method and using a sliding window in order to measure long range dependence. We detect that Hurst exponents behave di…
In most illiquid markets, there is no obvious proxy for the market price of an asset. The European corporate bond market is an archetypal example of such an illiquid market where mid-prices can only be estimated with a statistical model. In this OTC market, dealers / market makers only have access, indeed, to partial i…
Random forest predicts catastrophe bond spreads with 93% accuracy.
Study analyzes bond price covariation robustly under no-arbitrage conditions.
Study finds it hard to establish common factor pricing in corporate bonds.
There are more than eight hundred interest rates published in China bond market every day. Which are the benchmark interest rates that have broad influences on most interest rates is a major concern for economists. In this paper, multi-variable Granger causality test is developed and applied to construct a directed net…
The process of liquidity provision in financial markets can result in prolonged exposure to illiquid instruments for market makers. In this case, where a proprietary position is not desired, pro-actively targeting the right client who is likely to be interested can be an effective means to offset this position, rather …
This papers addresses the stock option pricing problem in a continuous time market model where there are two stochastic tradable assets, and one of them is selected as a numéraire. It is shown that the presence of arbitrarily small stochastic deviations in the evolution of the numéraire process causes significant chang…
We present cross and time series analysis of price fluctuations in the U.S. Treasury fixed income market. By means of techniques borrowed from statistical physics we show that the correlation among bonds depends strongly on the maturity and bonds' price increments do not fulfill the random walk hyphoteses.
Study assesses risks of European Safe Bonds using credit risk models.
A pricing formula for discount bonds, based on the consideration of the market perception of future liquidity risk, is established. An information-based model for liquidity is then introduced, which is used to obtain an expression for the bond price. Analysis of the bond price dynamics shows that the bond volatility is…
