问题如下:
Which of the following statements best describes empirical duration?
选项:
A.A common way to calculate a bond’s empirical duration is to run a
regression of its price returns on changes in a benchmark interest rate.
A bond’s empirical duration tends to be larger than its effective duration.
The price sensitivity of high-yield bonds to interest rate changes is typically
higher than that of investment-grade bonds
解释:
A is correct. A bond’s empirical duration is often estimated by running a regression of its price returns on changes in a benchmark interest rate.
问题1: 请问老师,教材原文对于empirical duration 的解释是什么?
问题2: 请问老师 empirical duration 衡量的是价格对yc变化的敏感程度,还是价格对yb变化的敏感程度呢?我的理解应该是价格对于yc变化的敏感程度,只有这样,spread的变化和benchmark 的变化才能相互抵消。
基于问题2里我对于empirical duration的理解,我认为A不对,因为A写的是对于bench mark利率的回归得出了empirical duration。
请老师做解读,谢谢。
