We present a novel empirical benchmark for analyzing credit risk using "pseudo firms" that purchase traded assets financed with equity and zero-coupon bonds. By no-arbitrage, pseudo bonds are equivalent to Treasuries minus put options on pseudo-firm assets. Empirically, like corporate spreads,...

Dynamic Dispersed Information and the Credit Spread Puzzle

Albagli, Elias - 2014

We develop a dynamic nonlinear, noisy REE model of credit risk pricing under dispersed information that can theoretically and quantitatively account for the credit spread puzzle. The first contribution is a sharp analytical characterization of the dynamic REE equilibrium and its comparative...

Expected Returns, Yield Spreads, and Asset Pricing Tests

Campello, Murillo - 2005

We use yield spreads to construct ex-ante returns on corporate securities, and then use the ex-ante returns in asset pricing assets. Differently from the standard approach, our tests do not use ex-post average returns as a proxy for expected returns. We find that the market beta plays a much...

Credit Risk and Disaster Risk

Gourio, Francois - 2011

Corporate credit spreads are large, volatile, countercyclical, and significantly larger than expected losses, but existing macroeconomic models with financial frictions fail to reproduce these patterns, because they imply small and constant aggregate risk premia. Building on the idea that...

Quantifying Liquidity and Default Risks of Corporate Bonds over the Business Cycle

Chen, Hui - 2014

We develop a structural credit risk model to examine how the interactions of liquidity and default risk affect …, our model generates rich links between liquidity risk and default risk. The introduction of macroeconomic risks helps the … model capture realistic time variation in default risk premia and the default-liquidity spiral over the business cycle …

Credit Risk in the Euro Area

Gilchrist, Simon - 2014

We construct credit risk indicators for euro area banks and non-financial corporations. These are the average spreads on the yield of euro area private sector bonds relative to the yield on German federal government securities of matched maturities. The indicators are also constructed at the...
