Abstract

Based on the credit risk pricing theory system of Merton (1974), this paper selects the monthly transaction data of the corporate bond market of listed companies from January 2008 to June 2017, and studies the impact of corporate bond liquidity of listed companies in China on credit spreads. Through empirical research, it is found that corporate bond liquidity of listed companies in China has a significant impact on credit spreads. The better the liquidity of bonds is, the smaller the risk compensation required by investors and the credit spread will be. During the period of insufficient liquidity, the impact is more significant. And it is proposed that measures such as improving the transaction final settlement system, reducing taxes and exempting restrictions on investment entities, etc., can be adopted.
