1 Topics on Macroeconomics II Bond Markets, Macro Finance Term Structure Models and Applications Spring 2012 WISE, Xiamen University Taught by Linlin Niu Time and location: Tuesday and Thursday 14:30 16:10, Nanqiang 2, R401. Evaluation on student s participation: class participation and presentation 50%, term paper 50%. Course Description Term structure of interest rates, or equivalently the yield curve, illustrates the relationship between interest rates and time to maturities, i.e. the remaining time until a bond expires. At the short end of the yield curve, the short term interest rate is closely related to monetary policy, which reacts to macroeconomic fundamentals such as inflation and growth. In equilibrium, long term interest rate is weighted expectation of future short term interest rates adjusted by risks and risk compensation. Moreover, the treasury yield curve provides a benchmark for interest rates, upon which asset of different risk characters and derivatives based on essential assets are priced. Financial markets are built around and convoluted with this curve. The yield curve is like a crystal ball containing important information on the dynamics of the economy, its risk perspective and investors risk appetite. Deciphering and understanding the information is of crucial importance to policy makers, investors, firms and households. This course serves as a starting point to deciphering and understanding this crystal ball. To this end, we need to go through four aspects: - Theory, which provides a unified framework of macro finance models; - Practice, which gives the basics on market functions and mechanism; - Techniques, which consist of models and methodologies; and finally - Questions, among which some interesting and important issues will be investigated with the theory and techniques we just acquired. 1
