Wang, a credit analyst in a wealth management firm, made the following statements about empirical duration:
Statement 1: Empirical duration is calculated by running a regression of bond’s price returns on changes in a benchmark interest rate.
Statement 2: Empirical duration tends to be smaller than the theoretically based effective duration.
Statement 3: high-yield bonds typically have a higher price sensitivity to interest rate changes than that of the investment-grade bonds.
According to the information above, which of the following is correct?
选项:
A. Statement 1 and statement 2 are correct.
B. Statement 2 and statement 3 are correct.
C. Statement 1 and statement 3 are correct.
解释:
A is correct.
考点:empirical duration的理解
解析:三个Statement中,Statement 1和Statement 2是正确的;Statement 3错误,因为相比较Investment-grade bond,high-yield bond对利率的敏感度更低。
如题 没理解statement2为什么正确
