Abstract:

Using a comprehensive dataset of 7,626 enterprise bonds and corporate bonds issued between January 2009 and December 2019 in China, we find that 25.2% of bonds receive boosted credit ratings at issuance; among them, 96.6% used credit enhancement. This paper empirically studies whether and how the credit enhancement structure in bond contracts affects bond pricing. First, our main findings show that the usage of credit enhancement at issuance can effectively help lower financing costs. Second, we use the propensity score matching procedure and instrumental variable analysis to control for the potential endogeneity of the usage of credit enhancement. Third, we find that the magnitude of cost reduction is larger for riskier firms, and when credit enhancement is provided by more reliable guarantors, which support the risk-sharing mechanism. The information production mechanism is also discussed and excluded. Last, we show that bond investors unsurprisingly discount bonds with boosted credit ratings.
