Long Forward Probabilities, Recovery and the Term Structure of Bond Risk Premiums

Abstract: We show that the martingale component in the long-term factorization of the stochastic discount factor due to Alvarez and Jermann (2005) and Hansen and Scheinkman (2009) is highly volatile, produces a downward-sloping term structure of bond Sharpe ratios, and implies that the long bond is far from growth optimality. In contrast, the long forward probabilities forecast an upward sloping term structure of bond Sharpe ratios that starts from zero for short-term bonds and implies that the long bond is growth optim… Show more

“…(3.10) holds. In this regard, we recall that Qin and Linetsky (2016) identified the unique recurrent eigenfunction π R of an affine pricing kernel with the minimal solution of the quadratic vector equation (see Appendix F in the on-line e-companion to Qin and Linetsky (2016)). We recall that, for a Markovian pricing kernel S (see Hansen and Scheinkman (2009) and Qin and Linetsky (2016)), we can associate a martingale…”
