Abstract: | The authors examine the term structure of yield spreads between floating-rate and fixed-rate notes of the same credit quality and maturity, floating-fixed spreads are theoretically characterized in some practical cases and quantified in a simple model in terms of maturity, credit quality, yield volatility, yield-spread volatility, correlation between changes in yield spreads and default-free yields, and other determining variables. The authors show that if the issuer's default risk is risk- neutrally independent of interest rates, the sign of floating-fixed spreads is determined by the term structure of the risk-free forward rate. |
