摘要:

Bond rating can be significantly different from issuer rating. Using a comprehensive dataset of 7,626 enterprise bonds and corporate bonds issued between January 2009 and December 2019 in China, we find that 25.2% of bonds receive improved ratings at issuance in China and among them 96.6% used credit enhancement. The credit enhancement effectively lower debt spread and our results still hold after controlling for a variety of bond and issuer characteristics. We use the propensity score matching and instrumental variable analysis to control for the endogeneity of credit enhancement usage. We empirically identify the risk-reduction and the risk-sharing mechanism while preclude the information production and liquidity improvement mechanism. Our findings suggest an important role of credit enhancement vehicles in credit market.
