1 Effects of Corporate and Government Bond Purchases on Credit Spreads and Their Transmission Mechanism: The Case of Japan Kenji Suganuma* and Yoichi Ueno** November 2017 * Deputy Director and Economist, Bank of Japan ( kenji.suganuma@boj.or.jp) ** Director and Senior Economist, Bank of Japan ( youichi.ueno@boj.or.jp) The views expressed in this paper are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official views of the Bank of Japan 1
2 Questions How and to what extent do the BOJ s corporate and government bond purchases push down Japanese firms credit spreads? What are the determinants of credit spreads in Japan? 2
3 Contribution 1. The first estimation of GZ spread and excess bond premium in Japan 2. Finding of the effectiveness of the excess bond premium for forecasting real economic activities 3. The first empirical investigation of local and global supply effect of the bond purchases in corporate bond market 4. Quantitative evaluation of the BOJ s QEs on credit spreads 3
4 Empirical strategy 1. Extend Gilchrist and Zakrajšek s framework (AER, 2012) by incorporating factors related to monetary policy 2. Examine the relationship between the BOJ s corporate and government bond purchases and the factors related to monetary policy 4
5 GZ framework Credit spread = specific factors + common factor Specific factors: 1. Default probability of issuer firm 2. Liquidity of bond 3. Expected recovery rate given a default 5
6 Credit spread specific factors 1. Default probability Schaefer and Strebulaev (JFE, 2008): Merton (1974) s distance to default 2. Liquidity Longstaff et al. (JF, 2005), Mahanti et al. (JFE, 2008): maturity (-), issue size (+), age (-), credit rating (+) 3. Expected recovery rate Gilchrist and Zakrajšek (AER, 2012): Industry specific 6
7 Credit spread common factor Excess bond premium: Effective measure to forecast real economic activity Tightly link to financial intermediaries risk appetite Frequently used with GZ spread in recent literature 7
8 GZ spread in Japan: GZ t 383 issuer firms and 5,614 corporate bonds from 1997 to 2016 GZ t = 1 N t CS it [k] = 1 N t (y it [k] y it f [k]) i k i k CS it [k]: Credit spread of corporate bond k issued by firm i at time t y it [k]: Yield of the corporate bond at time t y it f [k]: Government bond yield with the same coupon rate, face value, and maturity as the corporate bond at time t N t : # of bond/firm observations at time t 8
