Abstract
In this paper, we develop and estimate an arbitrage-free model of bond prices in which the evolution of the risk factors and the parameters of the stochastic discountfactor are subject to occasional discrete changes in regimes. We show that the component of risk premia associated with regime shifts is related to the macroeconomic environment. In particular, the explicit pricing of regime shifts and the nonlinearities associated with the Markov switching model generates a strong connection betweenbond risk premia and the macroeconomy as summarized by variables such as inflation, industrial production, and unemployment.
