Abstract: This work focuses on the recent literature, started by the seminal article of Ang - Piazzesi (2003), aimed at developing macrofinance models that combine finance specifications of the term structure of interest rates with standard macroeconomic aggregate relationships for output and inflation. We review the alternative models proposed in this new literature and discuss their main features. An alternative analysis based on cointegrated vector autoregressive models is developed and tested with the data available for the US.
