Firm policies and the cross-section of CDS spreads
We solve the credit spread puzzle with a structural model of firms policies that endogenously replicates the empirical cross–section of credit spreads. Structural estimation of the model’s parameters reveals that the model cannot be rejected by the data, and that endogenous investment decisions are major determinants of CDS spreads. We also verify that controlling for financial leverage, CDS sp...
متن کاملCDS Spreads and Systemic Financial Risk∗
This paper investigates the information content of bond and Credit Default Swap prices of financial institutions for the measurement of systemic risk in the financial sector, defined as the probability that several institutions default. Because CDS contracts involve counterparty risk, this is reflected in their price, the spread paid to a dealer to insure against default. Then, the set of sprea...
متن کاملRecovering Default Risk from CDS Spreads with a Nonlinear Filter
We propose a nonlinear lter to estimate the time-varying instantaneous default risk from the term structure of credit default swap (CDS) spreads. Based on the numerical solution of the Fokker-Planck equation (FPE) using a meshfree interpolation method, the lter performs a joint estimation of default intensities and CIR model parameters. As the FPE can account for nonlinear functions and nonGaus...
متن کاملDebt Restructuring Costs and Bankruptcy Risk: Evidence from CDS Spreads
We examine the effects of a recent change to the US tax code that reduced the costs lenders incur when restructuring loans out of court (Regulation TD9599). The regulation contemplated particular types of loans, allowing us to use a triple-differences approach to identify the degree to which borrowers are differentially affected by the shift in restructuring costs. We model these changes and sh...
متن کاملFirm Specific Risk and Return: Quantile Regression Application
The present study aims at investigating the relationship between firm specific risk and stock return using cross-sectional quantile regression. In order to study the power of firm specific risk in explaining cross-sectional return, a combination of Fama-Macbeth (1973) model and quantile regression is used. To this aim, a sample of 270 firms listed in Tehran Stock Exchange during 1999-2010 was i...
