Liquidity and Credit Default Swap Spreads
We present an empirical study of the pricing effect of liquidity in the credit default swaps (CDS) market. We construct liquidity proxies to capture various facets of CDS liquidity including adverse selection, search frictions, and inventory costs. We show that the liquidity effect on CDS spreads is significant with an estimated liquidity premium on par with those of Treasury bonds and corporat...
متن کاملMacroeconomic Uncertainty and Credit Default Swap Spreads
This paper empirically investigates the impact of macroeconomic uncertainty on the spreads of credit default swaps (CDS).

We convert the distance-to-default measure into a raw CDS valuation based on a constant hazard rate assumption and then map the raw CDS valu...

In particular, it is argued that downgrades and negative outlook reports do not contain significant information, but there seems to be anticipation of both types of ratings announcements. In this paper, we examine credit default swap spread changes conditiona...
