Corporate bond liquidity before and after the onset of the subprime crisis

Abstract: We analyze liquidity components of corporate bond spreads during 2005-2009 using a new robust illiquidity measure. The spread contribution from illiquidity increases dramatically with the onset of the subprime crisis. The increase is slow and persistent for investment grade bonds while the effect is stronger but more short-lived for speculative grade bonds. Bonds become less liquid when financial distress hits a lead underwriter and the liquidity of bonds issued by financial firms dries up under crises. During… Show more

“…Next, I describe three distinct approaches to decomposing tax-adjusted spreads into default and liquidity components. The first approach is based on Dick-Nielsen, Feldhutter, and Lando (2012) and uses transaction data to estimate the liquidity component. The second approach is based on Longstaff, Mithal, and Neis (2005) and uses CDS data to measure the default component.…”

“…The goal of this paper is to decompose tax-adjusted spreads into default and liquidity components. The first decomposition approach is closely related to the approach to estimating corporate bond liquidity spreads in Dick-Nielsen, Feldhutter, and Lando (2012). This approach involves estimating the liquidity spread directly and attributing the remaining spread to default risk.…”

“…First, it would be interesting to know the proportions of default risk and liquidity risks in the total yield spread. The recent paper by Dick-Nielse, Feldhütter, and Lando (2012) shows that liquidity risk may have represented up to 40% of the credit spread before and after the subprime crisis (2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009). Although they controlled for default risk in their analysis, they did not explicitly analyze the proportion of default risk in the total credit spread.…”

“…Along with domestic private credit reduction sovereign defaults also increase the risk of a banking crisis (Borensztein et al 2007, Sandleris 2008. Dick-Nielsen et al (2012) and their findings show that sovereign debt crisis increase corporate bond spreads. Additionally Corsetti et al (2014) also find that higher risk premium on government debt leads to hire corporate credit spreads.…”
