Book Description
We investigate the impact of short selling activity on trading activity and price volatility in the U.S corporate bond market. Consistent with prior literature, we find that investors use short selling as a platform to express their difference of opinions. In addition, we find that the positive relation between short selling activity and price volatility becomes weaker during period when investors' expectations tend to be more homogenous such as the Global Financial Crisis (GFC). More importantly, we show that short selling in the corporate bond market is not simply a substitute to equity short selling and option trading for investors to trade negative news and information against the underlying company. On the contrary, it is an independent conduit for investors to express difference of opinions specific to bond.

Book Description
This paper examines the relationship between short selling in the equity market and corporate bond returns. We show that both shorting activity and size of short trades are inversely correlated with contemporaneous bond returns. In addition, firms with heavily shorted shares or large short trade size experience significantly negative future bond returns. Further tests indicate that the relation between short trade size and subsequent bond returns is consistent with stealth trading of short sellers. The impact of both shorting activity and short trade size on bond returns is robust to various controls for risk, liquidity, and other pricing factors. In examining the sources of information in short selling, we find that firms associated with heavy short selling or large short trade size are likely to subsequently experience negative earnings surprises, higher credit risk, and reduced dividends. The overall results support the proposition that short trades in the equity market exert important valuation consequences in the corporate bond market.

Book Description
We examine the relationship between trading activity and price volatility in Indonesia corporate bond market using 2010-2014 data. We also investigate the role of liquidity and credit quality in this relationship. We find that volume and trading frequency have a positive and significant correlation to bond volatility, which is consistent with information-based model. The results also suggest that liquidity plays an important role in their relationship, in which illiquidity causing stronger relationship between trading volume and price volatility. Credit quality, however, do not have similar effects on volatility where AAA-rated bonds have higher volatility.

Book Description
We develop a simple model of the effect of transaction reporting on trade execution costs and test it using a sample of institutional trades in corporate bonds, before and after the initiation of public transaction reporting through the TRACE system. The results indicate a reduction of approximately 50% in trade execution costs for bonds eligible for TRACE transaction reporting, and consistent with the model's implications, also indicate the presence of a liquidity externality that results in a 20% reduction in execution costs for bonds not eligible for TRACE reporting. The key results are robust to allowances for changes in variables, such as interest rate volatility and trading activity, which might also affect execution costs. We also document decreased market shares for large dealers and a smaller cost advantage to large dealers post-TRACE, suggesting that the corporate bond market has become more competitive after TRACE implementation. These results reinforce that market design can have first-order effects, even for sophisticated institutional customers.

Book Description
We investigate the trading of corporate bonds (c-bonds) by an open limit order book (LOB) mechanism. To do so, we use the case of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) as a laboratory, in which both stocks and c-bonds are traded by an LOB mechanism. Contrary to the OTC market in the US, the TASE c-bond market is liquid with narrow spreads and low price dispersion. The short-term traders (STT), who are the analog of the market makers in the LOB, have small trading rents and unconcentrated activity (a low Herfindahl index). In the cross-section of bonds, the low concentration is related to low spreads, low price dispersion and small STT rents. The non-STT (including retail investors, whose participation is significant) compete with the STT on quotation and tend to tighter quotes. Retail investors' activity contributes to narrower spreads.

Book Description
In Part 1, we study the impact of bond exchange listing in the US publicly traded corporate bond market. Overall, we find that listed corporate bonds have lower bid-ask spreads than unlisted corporate bonds. We specifically show that listed bond spreads are $0.14 lower than unlisted bond spreads. We find that execution venue matters for listed bonds, and that listed bond trades that execute on the NYSE have higher trading costs than listed bond trades that execute off-NYSE. We show that listed bonds are more volatile than unlisted bonds. Lastly, we study bond trading around earnings announcements. We find no evidence that listing influences institutional (or large trading) activity in bonds. In Part 2, we study municipal bond market activity before, during, and after natural disasters (tornados, wildfires, and hurricanes/tropical storms). Using a sample of municipal bond trades from 2010 to 2013, we find that natural disasters influence municipal bond trading. Specifically, we show that spreads are lower on both tornado and wildfire event days and during following five trading days than during the preceding five trading days. While we do not document a relation between hurricane events and spreads, we show that spreads fall during the five days following the hurricane compared to the five trading days before the event. Generally, we document an increase in dollar volume in the five trading days following all three types of natural disasters. We also determine that linkages exist between the bonds affected by natural disasters and related bonds. In Part 3, we study municipal bond trading activity before, during, and after announcements of government officials’ misconduct. Using a sample of over 39,000,000 trades in nearly 500,000 bonds, we find that spreads are higher on news, indictment announcement, and trial verdict announcement days than other trading days. Spreads remain elevated through the five trading days following the announcement. We also find that large bond trades account for the majority of price discovery on event days. Overall, our results establish a link between government officials, their misconduct, and municipal bond markets.

Book Description
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) revolutionized asset markets by using an innovative structure to make investing in a wide variety of asset classes simpler and cheaper. With their growing importance has come increasing concern that these products pose new risks to market stability and performance. This paper examines whether ETFs affect systemic risks in financial markets and, if they do, what the mechanism is by which this impact occurs and what can be done to keep the risks under control. We review current research and empirical evidence on these issues and discuss some emerging risks in ETFs. We ask whether we have the right “rules of the road” to deal with the new drivers of market behavior.
