글로벌 회사채 스프레드에 대한 경기요인 영향력 분석: 기업 신용스프레드에 대한 경기사이클의 설명력 추정을 중심으로 = A Study on the Impact of Business Cycle on Corporate Credit Spreads

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

global financial crisis. Furthermore, it tests how the impact changes by the phase of the cycle.
Design/methodology/approach - This study collected dataset from Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index through the Bloomberg. It conducted multi-regression analysis by projecting business cycle using Hodrick-Prescott filtering and various cyclical variables, while ran dynamic analysis of 5-variable Vector Error Correction Model to confirm the robustness of the test.
Findings - First, it proves to be statistically significant that corporate credit spreads have moved countercyclicaly since the crisis. Second, It indicates that the corporate credit spread’s countercyclicality to the macroeconomic changes works symmetrically by the phase of the cycle.
Third, the VECM supports that business cycle’s impact on the spreads maintains more sustainably than other explanatory variable does in the model.
Research implications or Originality - It becomes more appealing to accurately measure the real economic impact on corporate credit spreads as the interaction between credit and business cycle deepens. The economic impact on the spreads works symmetrically by boom and bust, which implies that the market stress could impact as another negative driver during the bust. Finally, the business cycle’s sustainable impact on the spreads supports the fact that the economic recovery is the key driver for the resilience of credit cycle.
