内容简介:Inflation risk exposure, as measured by the return beta with respect to changes in long-term inflation swap rate, has significantly positive effect on cross-sectional variations of corporate bond excess returns. This effect remains the same for excess returns over duration-matched Treasury bond returns, showing that inflation beta mainly affects the default component of corporate bond returns. We then analyze how two channels of inflation-default association---debt deflation and inflation procyclicality—affect the pricing effects of inflation exposure for corporate bond returns. Further analyses on short-term inflation swap rate and time-varying risk aversion indicate the importance of long-term inflation expectation.
