题    目：Return Synchronicity in the Corporate Bond Market

内容提要：This report is about the return synchronicity in the corporate bond market. We find that investment-grade bonds, bonds without split ratings and bonds issued by public firms have higher level of return synchronicity. Consistent with the specific event intensity explanation, both rating changes and change intensity are negatively related to bond return synchronicity, and this relationship is more pronounced for bond-years with rating downgrades, more rating changes, and “fallen angel” events. The empirical results are robust to different model specifications, bond market return proxies, and controls.
