Credit Risk and the Macroeconomy
We construct a new credit spread index, employing an extensive micro-level data set of secondary market prices of outstanding senior unsecured bonds over the 1973– 2009 period.

We fit Cox intensity models for defaults, as well as for major upgrades and downgrades in credit rating, with both rating history-specific factors and a broad range ...

We employ a richly specified MarkovSwitching Vector Autoregression model to capture the dynamic relationships between a set of core macroeconomic variables and a nove...
