https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2015/12/staff-working-paper-2015-46/
We introduce a new framework that facilitates term structure modeling with both positive interest rates and flexible time-series dynamics but that is also tractable, meaning amenable to quick and robust estimation.2015-12-14T09:07:38+00:00enTractable Term Structure Models2015-12-14Asset pricingInterest ratesInternational financial marketsInternational topicsMonetary policy and uncertaintyMonetary policy transmissionStaff Working Paper 2015-46https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/wp2015-46.pdfTractable Term Structure ModelsBruno FeunouJean-Sébastien FontaineAnh LeChristian LundbladDecember 2015GG1G12Foreign Flows and Their Effects on Government of Canada Yields
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2015/11/staff-analytical-note-2015-1/
Foreign investment flows into Government of Canada (GoC) bonds have surged since the financial crisis. Our empirical analysis suggests that foreign flows of $150 billion lowered the 10-year GoC bond yield by 100 basis points between 2009 and 2012.2015-11-12T15:07:40+00:00enForeign Flows and Their Effects on Government of Canada Yields2015-11-12Option Valuation with Observable Volatility and Jump Dynamics

Under very general conditions, the total quadratic variation of a jump-diffusion process can be decomposed into diffusive volatility and squared jump variation. We use this result to develop a new option valuation model in which the underlying asset price exhibits volatility and jump intensity dynamics.2015-11-06T12:17:44+00:00enOption Valuation with Observable Volatility and Jump Dynamics2015-11-06Asset pricingWorking Paper 2015-39https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/wp2015-39.pdfOption Valuation with Observable Volatility and Jump DynamicsPeter ChristoffersenBruno FeunouYoontae JeonNovember 2015GG1G12Downside Variance Risk Premium
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2015/10/working-paper-2015-36/
We decompose the variance risk premium into upside and downside variance risk premia. These components reflect market compensation for changes in good and bad uncertainties. Their difference is a measure of the skewness risk premium (SRP), which captures asymmetric views on favorable versus undesirable risks.2015-10-22T10:52:04+00:00enDownside Variance Risk Premium2015-10-22Asset pricingWorking Paper 2015-36https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/wp2015-36.pdfDownside Variance Risk PremiumBruno FeunouMohammad R.

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2015/03/working-paper-2015-11/
Plain vanilla options have a single underlying asset and a single condition on the payoff at the expiration date. For this class of options, a well-known result of Duffie, Pan and Singleton (2000) shows how to invert the characteristic function to obtain a closed-form formula for their prices.2015-03-10T07:54:04+00:00enFourier Inversion Formulas for Multiple-Asset Option Pricing2015-03-10Asset pricingWorking Paper 2015-11https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/wp2015-11.pdfFourier Inversion Formulas for Multiple-Asset Option PricingBruno FeunouErnest TafolongMarch 2015GG1G12
