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.
关于选项C还是不太理解。
记得之前老师在讲课的时候有提到过,利率上升或者下降,对于投资级债券的价格影响不大,但是对于HYB的价格影响大。预期经济复苏,HYB的信用风险下降,Spread下降,买HYB以获得更高的收益。
