Abstract
This paper explores bond pricing implications of a stochastic endogenous growth model with imperfect price adjustment. In this setting, the production and price-setting decisions of firms drive low-frequency movements in macro growth and inflation rates that are negatively related, as in the data. With recursive preferences, these endogenous long-run growth and inflation dynamics are crucial for explaining a number of stylized facts in bond markets. Notably, when calibrated to a wide range of macroeconomic data, the model quantitatively explains the means and volatilities of nominal bond yields. The model also generates a sizeable equity premium and high investment volatility.
