Abstract

The bond supply affects the yield curve through a wealth effect. We prove notably that a larger volume of titles shifts the level of the yield curve downward and increases its slope. Finally, credit constraints allow idiosyncratic and aggregate risks to interact and thus make interest rates more volatile.
