    (1) I recently wrote a paper exploring asset pricing in corporate bonds with Cesare Robotti and Philippe Mueller. It has been published in the @J_Fin_Economics and was made the Editor’s Choice for November 2023. The published article is available here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

    When a PhD student failed to replicate a seminal paper about bond factors, his detective work led to the first-ever retraction for a prestigious journal. My story today on his discovery, the replication debate in finance and what makes bonds so hard: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

    Nice article from @BlackRock on systematic bond factor investing: blackrock.com/institutions/e… For the last decade, academic work related to corp. bonds has largely been out of touch with empirical reality. My co-authors and I have almost completed a new paper which imposes

    Return-Based Anomalies in Corporate Bonds: Are They There? The answer is … not really. You can find my new working paper with Cesare Robotti (Warwick) and Giulio Rossetti (Warwick) at SSRN available here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

    Great paper on look-ahead bias when forming option strategies in academia: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… Turns out many characteristics are simply capturing microstructure noise and forward looking information from ex post filtering! 😯

    (2) We have several follow-up papers including research on microstructure bias in corporate bond asset pricing (papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… with @Gi_R94) and where we estimate over 500 trillion possible models in a Bayesian framework (papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… with @Chris_Julliard )

    Thanks for the exposure @achenfinance! Over the next few weeks I hope to add new code/factor data and Python -> R translations. If anyone wants to contribute please reach out! 👍

    @achenfinance I am a massive fan of your OpenSource equity website. I modelled our bond website on yours using the minimalist blog WordPress theme. However, if it is too similar I am more than happy to change the appearance! Happy to talk more privately! :).
