Bonds: Their Risks and Their Compensations
2018THE PURPOSE OF THIS CHAPTER In this chapter we look at the risks to which bonds are exposed. Risk comes from not knowing for certain how things will pan out.

We replicate estimates for the USA and find that the variance of earnings in an occupation affects individual wages positively while the skewness of earnings has a negative effect.
