Excess return里面的Spread是Credit-related risk;
这个Credit-related risk用收益率反映就是:
公司债的YTM减去相同duration Government bond YTM
这么看其实就是Z-spread,他是包括Credit spread的。用原版书的话就是:
That is, excess return is the additional return that an investor receives for purchasing a credit security instead of a security with similar interest-rate sensitivity but with no credit risk.
所以当题目要求Excess return时,给了Z-spread就用Z-spread。
注意对于普通债权衡量credit-related risk用的是Z-spread,对于含权债券衡量Credit-related risk用的是OAS,所以有时候题目会给OAS,这时候用OAS求Excess return.
