Essays on the market for corporate bonds by Levonmaa, A

“…Chapter 1 studies the impact of credit rating changes on corporate bond returns. This study uses a large dataset of corporate bond transactions from the TRACE database for the US corporate bond market, combined with credit rating changes from Fitch, Moody's and Standard and Poor's (S&P), to analyse over 22,000 bonds, coupled with approximately 28,400 rating events over nearly six years. …”

Development of the bond markets in Singapore and Malaysia. by Chan, Wei Lun.

“…The study also explores avenues for increasing the demand for corporate bonds such as increasing provident fund investments in bonds; changes to the commission rate structure for bond trading, and reduction or abolition of tax for interest received and stamp duty transferances. …”
