3 The Bond Premium Puzzle The equity premium puzzle: excess returns on stocks are much larger (and more variable) than can be explained by standard preferences in a DSGE model (Mehra and Prescott, 1985).
4 The Bond Premium Puzzle The equity premium puzzle: excess returns on stocks are much larger (and more variable) than can be explained by standard preferences in a DSGE model (Mehra and Prescott, 1985). The bond premium puzzle: excess returns on long-term bonds are much larger (and more variable) than can be explained by standard preferences in a DSGE model (Backus, Gregory, and Zin, 1989).

The bond premium puzzle: excess returns on long-term bonds are much larger (and more variable) than can be explained by standard preferences in a DSGE model (Backus, Gregory, and Zin, 1989). Note: Since Backus, Gregory, and Zin (1989), DSGE models with nominal rigidities have advanced considerably

10 Why Study the Bond Premium Puzzle? The bond premium puzzle is important: DSGE models increasingly used for policy analysis; total failure to explain term premium may signal flaws in the model many empirical questions about term premium require a structural DSGE model to provide reliable answers
11 Why Study the Bond Premium Puzzle? The bond premium puzzle is important: DSGE models increasingly used for policy analysis; total failure to explain term premium may signal flaws in the model many empirical questions about term premium require a structural DSGE model to provide reliable answers The equity premium puzzle has received more attention in the literature, but the bond premium puzzle: provides an additional perspective on the model tests nominal rigidities in the model only requires modeling short-term interest rate process, not dividends applies to a larger volume of U.S. securities

31 Solving the Model The benchmark model above has a relatively large numer of state variables: C t 1, A t 1, G t 1, i t 1, t 1, π t, ε A t, εg t, ε i t
32 Solving the Model The benchmark model above has a relatively large numer of state variables: C t 1, A t 1, G t 1, i t 1, t 1, π t, ε A t, εg t, ε i t We solve the model by approximation around the nonstochastic steady state (perturbation methods)
33 Solving the Model The benchmark model above has a relatively large numer of state variables: C t 1, A t 1, G t 1, i t 1, t 1, π t, ε A t, εg t, ε i t We solve the model by approximation around the nonstochastic steady state (perturbation methods) In a first-order approximation, term premium is zero In a second-order approximation, term premium is a constant (sum of variances) So we compute a third-order approximation of the solution around nonstochastic steady state perturbationaim algorithm in Swanson, Anderson, Levin (2006) quickly computes nth order approximations

39 Models with Giant Shocks Hördahl, Tristani, Vestin (2006) match level of term premium using: NK model very similar to our benchmark model giant technology shocks: ρ a =.986, σ a =.0237 in our benchmark model, imply consol term premium of 100bp

45 Campbell-Cochrane Habits: Results Recall: Wachter (2005) resolves bond premium puzzle using: Campbell-Cochrane habits endowment economy random walk consumption exogenous process for inflation
46 Campbell-Cochrane Habits: Results Recall: Wachter (2005) resolves bond premium puzzle using: Campbell-Cochrane habits endowment economy random walk consumption exogenous process for inflation However, incorporating Campbell-Cochrane habits into our benchmark DSGE model implies: mean term premium: 3.7 bp standard deviation of term premium: 0.2 bp
47 Campbell-Cochrane Habits: Results Recall: Wachter (2005) resolves bond premium puzzle using: Campbell-Cochrane habits endowment economy random walk consumption exogenous process for inflation However, incorporating Campbell-Cochrane habits into our benchmark DSGE model implies: mean term premium: 3.7 bp standard deviation of term premium: 0.2 bp Intuition: in a DSGE model, households can self-insure by varying labor supply
48 Campbell-Cochrane Habits and Labor Market Frictions Possible solution: add labor market frictions to prevent households from self-insuring Explore three classes of labor market frictions: households pay an adjustment cost: κ(log l t log l t 1 ) 2 staggered nominal wage contracting real wage rigidities (Nash bargaining)
49 Campbell-Cochrane Habits with Adjustment Costs Figure 1: Mean Term Premium Mean Term Premium (basis points) mean term premium, no C-C habits mean term premium, with C-C habits % 0.50% 1.00% 1.50% 2.00% 2.50% 3.00% Output Cost of 1% Change in Labor

52 Staggered Nominal Wage Contracts Introduce staggered nominal wage contracts as in Erceg, Henderson, Levin (2000), Christiano, Eichenbaum, and Evans (2006)
53 Staggered Nominal Wage Contracts Introduce staggered nominal wage contracts as in Erceg, Henderson, Levin (2000), Christiano, Eichenbaum, and Evans (2006) Note: to make the model tractable, assume complete markets
54 Staggered Nominal Wage Contracts Introduce staggered nominal wage contracts as in Erceg, Henderson, Levin (2000), Christiano, Eichenbaum, and Evans (2006) Note: to make the model tractable, assume complete markets With Campbell-Cochrane habits and nominal wage contracts, term premium in the model decreases to 1.3bp
55 Staggered Nominal Wage Contracts Introduce staggered nominal wage contracts as in Erceg, Henderson, Levin (2000), Christiano, Eichenbaum, and Evans (2006) Note: to make the model tractable, assume complete markets With Campbell-Cochrane habits and nominal wage contracts, term premium in the model decreases to 1.3bp Intuition: complete markets provide households with insurance, more than offsets the costs of the wage friction
56 Real Wage Rigidities Following Blanchard and Galí (2005), model real wage bargaining rigidity as: log w r t = (1 µ) ( log w r t + ω ) + µ log w r t 1
57 Real Wage Rigidities Following Blanchard and Galí (2005), model real wage bargaining rigidity as: log w r t = (1 µ) ( log w r t + ω ) + µ log w r t 1 With Campbell-Cochrane habits and µ =.99, term premium in the model is just 4.2bp With Campbell-Cochrane habits and µ =.999, term premium in the model is 4.7bp
58 Real Wage Rigidities Following Blanchard and Galí (2005), model real wage bargaining rigidity as: log w r t = (1 µ) ( log w r t + ω ) + µ log w r t 1 With Campbell-Cochrane habits and µ =.99, term premium in the model is just 4.2bp With Campbell-Cochrane habits and µ =.999, term premium in the model is 4.7bp Intuition: wage friction increases volatility of MRS, but decreases volatility of inflation, interest rates
59 Additional Robustness Checks CEE model models with investment time-varying π t None of these have helped to fit the term premium

62 Conclusions The bond premium puzzle remains: 1 The term premium in standard NK DSGE models is very small, even more stable
63 Conclusions The bond premium puzzle remains: 1 The term premium in standard NK DSGE models is very small, even more stable 2 To match term premium in NK DSGE framework, need high curvature together with labor frictions (not wage frictions)
64 Conclusions The bond premium puzzle remains: 1 The term premium in standard NK DSGE models is very small, even more stable 2 To match term premium in NK DSGE framework, need high curvature together with labor frictions (not wage frictions) 3 However, matching the term premium destroys the model s ability to fit macro variables, particularly the real wage

67 Slow-Moving Habits Brief intuition: R t = 1 E t m r t+1 ˆR t β + γ c h β = (c t h t ) γ βe t (c t+1 h t+1 ) γ [ c(e t ĉ t+1 ĉ t ) h(e t ĥ t+1 ĥt) γ h c h (ĥt+1 ĥt) Slow-moving habits can keep risk-free rate volatility down even if h c ]
68 Campbell-Cochrane Habits with Adjustment Costs Intuition for why real wages are so volatile: Note: h c w r t = χ 0 l χ t (c t h t ) γ ŵt r χˆl t + γ ( c c h ĉt h ĥt) h t and c t do not covary strongly (because habits are slow-moving) So the real wage is very volatile.
