Risk‐Sharing and the Term Structure of Interest Rates

Andrés Schneider

Journal of Finance, 2022, vol. 77, issue 4, 2331-2374

Abstract: I propose a general equilibrium model with heterogeneous investors to explain the key properties of the U.S. real and nominal term structure of interest rates. I find that differences in investors' elasticities of intertemporal substitution are critical in accounting for the dynamics of nominal and real yields. The nominal term structure is driven primarily by real shocks so that it can be upward sloping regardless of the correlation between nominal and real shocks.
