Returns to Defaulted Corporate Bonds
Håkan Thorsell ()
Abstract: I test for short term excess return in a sample of 279
defaulted US corporate bonds using multiple regression analysis. There are
robust excess returns after controlling for market and liquidity risk. The
expected recovery rate during 2001-2006 is estimated to be, on average,
four percentage points lower the first month after default than the present
value of the recovery rate after nine months.
