摘要：
The corporate bond market plummeted and credit risk spiked in the COVID-19 pandemic, until the Federal Reserve’s interventions greatly eased the liquidity crisis. In this paper, we analyze the impact of such interventions on corporate credit risk by proposing and implementing a structural model of risky debt that incorporates both debt illiquidity and time-varying asset volatility. Speciffcally, we embed an illiquid secondary debt market into a dynamic model of agency confficts between debtholders and shareholders. The proposed model captures the impact of both debt illiquidity and time-varying asset volatility on credit risk, and the effect of their interaction is especially stronger for ffrms with longer average debt maturity. Our empirical tests with a sample of individual corporate bonds support the model’s implications. Additionally, we calibrate the model to quantify the liquidity enhancements provided by the Fed’s credit facilities during the pandemic, and show that they lead to a reduction in the aggregate CDS spread by approximately 20%.
