This paper studies the interaction between fundamental and liquidity for defaultable corporate bonds that are traded in … liquidity, which depends on both the firm fundamental and the time-to-maturity of the bond.

Is Credit Event Risk Priced? Modeling Contagion via the Updating of Beliefs
Collin-Dufresne, Pierre - 2010
Empirical tests of reduced form models of default attribute a large fraction of observed credit spreads to compensation for jump-to-default risk. However, these models preclude a "contagion-risk'' channel, where the aggregate corporate bond index reacts adversely to a credit event. In this...

Rollover Risk and Market Freezes
Acharya, Viral V. - 2010
The crisis of 2007-09 has been characterized by a sudden freeze in the market for short-term, secured borrowing. We present a model that can explain a sudden collapse in the amount that can be borrowed against finitely-lived assets with little credit risk. The borrowing in this model takes the...

An Empirical Study of the Credit Market with Unobserved Consumer Typers
Gan, Li - 2008
This paper proposes an econometric model to identify unobserved consumer types in the credit market. Consumers choose different amounts of loan because of differences in their time or risk preferences (types). Thus, the unconditional probability of default is modeled using a mixture density...

Designed to Fail : Effects of the Default Option and Information Complexity on Student Loan Repayment
Cox, James C. - 2018
We ask why so few student loan borrowers enroll in Income Driven Repayment when the majority would benefit from doing so. To do so we run an incentivized laboratory experiment using a facsimile of the government's Student Loan Exit Counseling website. We test the role information complexity,...

Equity Term Structures without Dividend Strips Data
Giglio, Stefano; Kelly, Bryan T.; Kozak, Serhiy - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023
We use a large cross-section of equity returns to estimate a rich affine model of equity prices, dividends, returns and their dynamics. Using the model, we price dividend strips of the aggregate market index, as well as any other well-diversified equity portfolio. We do not use any dividend...
