2 Introduction Motivation Introduction Breakevens: market-based measure of inflation expectations closely watched by policy makers and market participants. Distortions: 1 Liquidity premia. 2 Inflation risk premia. Need to adjust for both to impute market-based expectations of future inflation, real short rates. Potentially need many factors to precisely fit both cross-sections, traditional estimation challenging. Emanuel Moench (Bundesbank) Decomposing Real and Nominal Yield Curves September / 34
3 Introduction What This Paper Does What We Do Joint affine model for TIPS and Treasuries explicitly taking into account TIPS relative illiquidity. Regression-based estimation approach (Adrian, Crump, Moench 2013). Model fits both cross-sections very precisely, easy to implement, forecasts inflation well out-of-sample. Use model to: 1 Study economic underpinnings of inflation risk premia. 2 Predict inflation with breakevens adjusted for liquidity, inflation risk. 3 Decompose conventional monetary policy effects on long-term real forwards. 4 Decompose effects of LSAPS Emanuel Moench (Bundesbank) Decomposing Real and Nominal Yield Curves September / 34
4 Introduction Estimating Affine Term Structure Models Affine Term Structure Models: Nontechnical Summary Yields of all maturities are linear (affine) functions of a small set of pricing factors: y (n) t = a n + b n,1 X 1,t b n,k X k,t + u t Parameters a and b are related across maturities n to ensure consistency of time series and cross section. This is achieved by imposing no-arbitrage. Price of an n-period bond today equals expected discounted price of (n 1) period bond tomorrow: [ ] P (n) t = E t P (n 1) + risk adjustment t+1 Emanuel Moench (Bundesbank) Decomposing Real and Nominal Yield Curves September / 34
5 Model and Estimation Holding Period Returns Excess Log Holding Period Returns - Nominal Bonds Using standard assumptions in affine DTSM, excess one-period holding returns are given by Nominal bonds: where rx (n) t+1 = log P(n 1) t+1 log P (n) t + log P (1) t = a n + c n X t + β nx t+1 a n = B n µ 1 2 B nσb n, c n = B n Φ, β n = B n. Emanuel Moench (Bundesbank) Decomposing Real and Nominal Yield Curves September / 34
6 Model and Estimation Holding Period Returns Excess Log Holding Period Returns - Real Bonds Similarly, real bonds (+ inflation): where a n,r = rx (n) t+1,r + π t+1 = log P (n 1) R,t+1 log P(n) R,t + log P(1) R,t = a n,r + c n,r X t + β n,rx t+1 ( (B n,r + π 1 ) µ + 1 ) 2 (B n,r + π 1 ) Σ (B n,r + π 1 ). c n,r = (B n,r + π 1 ) Φ, β n,r = (B n,r + π 1 ) Emanuel Moench (Bundesbank) Decomposing Real and Nominal Yield Curves September / 34
7 Model and Estimation Estimation Regression-Based Estimation Treating pricing factors as known, estimation can be done in three simple steps (see also Adrian, Crump, Moench JFE 2013) 1 Estimate physical dynamics by running VAR(1) on the factors. 2 Run time series regressions of excess bond returns on cst, contemporaneous and lagged pricing factors obtain betas and predictive slopes. 3 Run cross-sectional regression of predictive slopes on betas to obtain parameters governing factor dynamics under pricing measure. This estimation approach is instantaneous, robust, and allows for large number of factors. Emanuel Moench (Bundesbank) Decomposing Real and Nominal Yield Curves September / 34
8 Model and Estimation Estimation Data Liquidity factor: Simple average of 1 Nelson-Siegel-Svensson yield curve fitting error for TIPS. 2 Primary dealer transaction volume of TIPS vs. Treasuries. Gurkaynak, Sack, Wright NSS yield curves for Treasuries (2007) and TIPS (2010) Preferred spec: Liquidity factor, three PCs from nominal Treasuries, two from TIPS orthogonalized wrt nominal PCs and liquidity factor. Treasury returns for n = 6, 12, 18,..., 120, TIPS returns for n R = 24, 36, 42,..., 120 π : non-seasonally adjusted headline CPI.

Substantial liquidity premia, especially before 2004 and in crisis. Long-term infl. expectations essentially flat, consistent with surveys.

15 Model and Estimation Monetary Policy Analysis Decomposing the Effects of LSAPs What are the channels through which LSAPs work? Portfolio balance effect: LSAPs reduce long-term Treasuries held by private sector Term premia, yields decline.(e.g. Gagnon, Raskin, Remache, Sack 2011). Alternative channel: LSAPs affect short rate expectations, signal lower future short rates (e.g. Bauer&Rudebusch 2012). We use an event-study analysis as in GRRS for 15 announcement dates (Woodford 2012) and decompose daily yield changes into their various components.

17 Model and Estimation Monetary Policy Analysis Decomposing the Effects of LSAPs - ctd. LSAPs primarily work through large reduction of real term premia. Inflation risk premium rises somewhat. Expected inflation not significantly changed. Risk-adjusted expected future short rates rise slightly: no support for signaling channel. Emanuel Moench (Bundesbank) Decomposing Real and Nominal Yield Curves September / 34
18 Model and Estimation Monetary Policy Analysis Long-Term Real Forwards and Monetary Policy Hanson-Stein (2014), Nakamura-Steinsson (2014) find that long-term real forwards move substantially in response to monetary policy changes. Inconsistent with long-run money neutrality unless explained by term premia. We use our model to decompose reaction of long-term forwards to conventional monetary policy shocks into expectations and risk premium components. Identify policy shocks from fed funds futures as in Kuttner (2001), Bernanke and Kuttner (2005). Restrict sample to , prior to ZLB.

20 Model and Estimation Monetary Policy Analysis Long-Term Real Forwards and Monetary Policy - ctd. Long-term real forwards react to monetary policy shocks primarily because of real term premia. Risk-adjusted long-term real forward rates hardly affected. Corroborates conjecture of Hanson and Stein (2014), also in line with Nakamura/Steinsson (2014). Consistent with risk-taking channel of monetary policy. Emanuel Moench (Bundesbank) Decomposing Real and Nominal Yield Curves September / 34
21 Conclusion Conclusion Fast, transparent estimation of joint nominal/real ATSM with little fitting error. Decompose breakeven inflation into liquidity premium, inflation risk premium, and expected inflation. Use model to analyze pertinent monetary policy questions: LSAPs primarily reduce real term premia: no evidence of signaling channel. Conventional monetary policy also mainly moves real term premia: risk-taking channel of monetary policy. Emanuel Moench (Bundesbank) Decomposing Real and Nominal Yield Curves September / 34

25 Model ATSM for Real and Nominal Bonds An ATSM for Real and Nominal Bonds: Assumptions K 1 vector of pricing factors: Nominal pricing kernel: M t = exp Prices of risk as in Duffee (2002): X t+1 µ = Φ (X t µ) + ν t+1 ( r t 12 λ tλ t λ tσ 1/2 ν t+1 ). λ t = Σ 1/2 (λ 0 + λ 1 X t ).

26 Model ATSM for Real and Nominal Bonds Imposing No-Arbitrage No-arbitrage implies: P (n) t = E Q t [exp ( r t... r t+n 1 ) 1]. [ P (n) t,r = E Q t exp ( r t... r t+n 1 ) Q ] t+n. Q t Solving one obtains exponentially affine pricing for Treasuries and TIPS: log P (n) t = A n + B nx t. log P (n) t,r = A n,r + B n,rx t. Inflation and nominal short rate linear function of pricing factors: r t = δ 0 + δ 1X t. π t = π 0 + π 1X t. Emanuel Moench (Bundesbank) Decomposing Real and Nominal Yield Curves September / 34

30 Model Estimation Estimation - Step 3 3) Cross-sectional Generalized Least Squares regression for Φ and µ. We know from the recursive pricing formulas that [ ] β [ µ Φ] [ a + 1 = 2 β vec(σ) a R β R vec(σ) β R or B Ψ = [A C] Then, we can simply estimate Φ and µ as: ˆ Φ gls = (ˆB ols ˆ µ gls = (ˆB gls ) 1 ˆΣ e ˆB ols ˆB ols 1 ˆΣ e B Φ ols. ] c c R ) ( 1 1 ˆΣ e ˆB gls ˆB gls 1 ˆΣ e ˆα gls + 1 ) 2 ˆγ gls In the paper, we provide the asymptotic variance of λ 0 and λ 1 where µ = (I K Φ) µ X λ 0 and Φ = Φ λ 1 Emanuel Moench (Bundesbank) Decomposing Real and Nominal Yield Curves September / 34
31 Model Estimation Model-Implied Yields We can feed the estimated parameters back into the recursive pricing functions to obtain fitted yields of all nominal yields. If we want to compute the implied TIPS curve, we still need to estimate π 0 and π 1 : Given factors and all other parameters, TIPS yields are quadratic functions of π 1. Easy to find numerical solution. Use T n R observations on TIPS to pin down π 0 and π 1. Emanuel Moench (Bundesbank) Decomposing Real and Nominal Yield Curves September / 34
