Essays on the market for corporate bonds by Levonmaa, A

“…Drawing on similar studies of other markets, the relationship between returns and order flow is modelled using a vector autoregression, and the information content of a trade is measured as the long-run price impact of a shock to order flow. Price impacts are particularly strong and significant for order flow from institutional investors and for bonds with higher default risk, higher volatility and lower liquidity. …”
