We use an asset pricing approach to compare the effects of expected liquidity and liquidity risk on expected U ….S. corporate bond returns. Liquidity measures are constructed for bond portfolios using a Bayesian approach to estimate Roll …'s measure. The results show that expected bond liquidity and exposure to equity market liquidity risk affect expected bond …

Many firms choose to refinance their debt. We investigate the long run effects of this extended practice on credit ratings and credit spreads. We find that debt refinancing generates systematic rating downgrades unless a minimum firm value growth is observed. Deviations from this growth path...

This paper proposes an intensity-based pricing model with default dependence structure for CMBS bonds. Three features are incorporated into the proposed model. First, default is a Poisson jump process defined as a function of mortgage rating information in the model. Second, underlying property...

The objective of this paper is to consider defaultable term structure models in a general setting beyond standard risk-neutral models. Using as numeraire the growth optimal portfolio, defaultable interest rate derivatives are priced under the real-world probability measure. Therefore, the...

Results show that the level of bank returns is not directly affected by the SLRI, but their volatility … increases when liquidity conditions deteriorate. I do not find a strong association between bank size and exposure to the SLRI …
