| Abstract: | This study aims at quantifying the problem of insider trading of the credit derivatives market. Using news reflected in the stock market as a benchmark for public information (here as: info.), there is found significant incremental info. revelation (as: i-rvln.) in the credit default swap market under circumstances consistent with the use of non-public info. by informed banks. The i-rvln. occurs only for negative credit news and for entities subsequently experiencing adverse shocks, increasing with the number of a firm's relationship banks. However, no evidence is found that the degree of asymmetric info. adversely affects prices or liquidity. |
