Discussion on the Information Asymmetry between Corporate Bonds and Stocks by Credit Rating Downgrade

指導教授 : 李賢源

摘要


美國金融監管機構為了要改善公司債市場的的資訊透明度,遂於2002年推出債券公開申報平台『TRACE系統』,研究債券市場資訊透明度的文獻才慢慢開始越來越多,但過往文獻大多僅比較TRACE系統出現前後。債券市場的資訊透明度,故本研究主要透過研究公司的信用評等遭到降評對公司債是否產生負面異常報酬,以探討現今公司債市場是否存在資訊不對稱的情況,本研究所指的資訊不對稱為同一市場的不同投資人是否在降評日宣布之前就有資訊差異,且由於信用降評也會對公司所發行的股票造成負面影響,所以也加入股票市場進行研究。本研究使用事件研究法分別對公司債與股票進行檢定,實證結果為當公司的信用評等遭到降評或公司展望降為負向時,股票雖沒有產生顯著的負面異常報酬,但公司債有產生負面異常報酬,表示美國公司債市場即使有TRACE系統存在,也無法避免公司債市場存在資訊不對稱的情況,資訊透明度仍有待加強。 另外,也研究了當公司的信用評等遭到降評或公司展望降為負向,公司債會不會優先於股票反應負面消息。實證結果發現,公司債領先股票3天反應降評的負面衝擊。

並列摘要


In 2002, NASD introduced TRACE to improve transparency of the market. Since then, effort has been devoted into studying effect of how TRACE improve the market transparency and its effect on the market participants. In our paper, we discuss how ratings downgrade affect total return of corporate bonds, and determine if there is asymmetric information compared to stock market. Our approach is to test the significance of the negative abnormal return of individual companies in both stock and bond markets. If the negative abnormal return after release of negative news is significant in bond market but not in stock market, we may deduce there still exists asymmetric information in corporate bond market, notwithstanding the new system. Our result also shows that corporate bond market reacts to negative news three days earlier on average than stock market.
