Internal Liquidity Risk in Corporate Bond Credit Spreads
The determinants of a substantial portion of bond credit spreads remain puzzled in literature. Through investigating corporate bond credit spreads from year 2000 to 2005, we find that corporate internal liquidity still significantly impacts on corporate bond credit spreads when controlling other well-known variables stated in literature. Additionally, we also find that there is a systematic int...
متن کاملCredit Risk and Real Investment Dynamics ∗
Empirical evidence documents a tight link between aggregate and firm-level investment and corporate credit spreads. Moreover, it has been shown that credit spreads largely reflect a compensation for bearing macroeconoimc risks. We use a tractable model with recursive preferences and time varying macroeoconomic risk to investigate the link between aggregate risk and corporate policies in a produ...
متن کاملModeling the Dynamics of Credit Spreads with Stochastic Volatility
This paper investigates a two-factor affine model for the credit spreads on corporate bonds. The Þrst factor can be interpreted as the level of the spread, and the second factor is the volatility of the spread. The riskless interest rate is modeled using a standard two-factor affine model, thus leading to a four-factor model for corporate yields. This approach allows us to model the volatility ...
متن کاملCMCDS Data Exploration and Trading Strategies
This paper explores trading strategies to identify possible imbalances that may have been existed in the credit markets, during the period 2001–2006, when pairing CDS and CMCDS on the same name. To this end, a large database of single-name CDS premia is used to produce the corresponding CMCDS prices, derived by implementing common market models. It appears that, in general, it would have been m...
متن کاملEstimating the Term Structure of Yield Spreads from Callable Corporate Bond Price Data
I extract credit pricing information from the prices of callable corporate debt, by disentangling the components of callable corporate bond prices associated with discounting at market interest rates, discounting for default risk, and optionality. The results include the first empirical analysis, in the setting of standard arbitrage-free term-structure models, of the time-series behavior of cal...
متن کاملFinance and Economics Discussion Series
This paper presents an internally consistent analysis of the economic determinants of the term structure of credit spreads across different credit rating classes and industry sectors. Our analysis proceeds in two steps. First, we extract three economic factors from 13 time series that capture three major dimensions of the economy: inflation pressure, real output growth, and financial market vol...
