The Dynamics of Australian Dollar Bonds with Different Credit Qualities
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the long-term equilibrium relationship between Australian dollar bonds of different credit quality. Contrary to the expectations hypothesis we find the yields of Eurobonds are not cointegrated with the equivalent maturity Government bond. Nevertheless, the results suggest that the yields of the different risk classes of Eurobonds are cointegrated with one another, with the higher rated bond yields tending to lead the lower rated yields. The paper also demonstrates that the cointegration relationship can be utilised in modelling the dynamics of the spread changes between Eurobonds and Government bonds. JEL Classification: E43, G15

The Valuation of Risky Fixed Rate Bonds: Evidence from Australian Dollar Eurobonds
We apply the closed-form valuation model of Longstaff and Schwartz (1995) to explain the behaviour of credit spreads on Australian dollar denominated Eurobonds with different credit ratings and maturities. This framework predicts that credit spreads are driven by both an asset and interest rate factor. Consistent with the implications of this model, the results suggest that relative credit spre...
متن کاملA framework for Measuring the Dynamics Connections of Volatility in Oil and Financial Markets
Investigating connections between financial and oil markets is important for investors and policy makers. This knowledge allows for appropriate decision making. In this paper, we measure the dynamic connections of selected stock markets in the Middle East with oil markets, gold, dollar index and euro-dollar and pound-dollar exchange rates during the period February 2007 to August 2019 in networ...
متن کاملCurrency dependence of corporate credit spreads
Many pricing and risk management models need credit spread curves as an input. Given the small number of bonds outstanding per issuer the estimation of credit spread curves is not trivial in the corporate bond market. To ensure a sufficient number of bonds for the estimation procedure in many cases bonds in different currencies have to be used which implies that the estimation procedure has to ...
متن کاملUnderstanding common factors in domestic and international bond spreads
In this paper, I study the determinants of credit spread changes of individual U.S. dollar denominated bonds – domestic and foreign sovereign – using fundamentals specified by structural models. Credit spreads are important determinants of the cost of debt for all issuers and are fully determined by credit risk in structural models. I construct a new dataset of domestic corporate and sovereign ...
متن کاملFuzzy Apriori Rule Extraction Using Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization: The Case of Credit Scoring
There are many methods introduced to solve the credit scoring problem such as support vector machines, neural networks and rule based classifiers. Rule bases are more favourite in credit decision making because of their ability to explicitly distinguish between good and bad applicants.In this paper multi-objective particle swarm is applied to optimize fuzzy apriori rule base in credit scoring. ...
