| Abstract: | A reduced-form approach for valuing callable corporate bonds (hereafter as: c-c-bds.) by characterizing the call probability through an intensity process is developed. From the market's perspective, the existence of a call-arrival intensity is justified by asymmetric information and market frictions. An empirical analysis of c-c-bds. using both this study's model and the more traditional American option approach for valuing c-c-bds. shows that the reduced-form model fits c-c-bds. prices well, outperforming the traditional approach both in- and out-of-sample. |
