CDS Auctions & Informative Biases in CDS Recovery Rates
Presented by:
Professor Sudip Gupta Visiting Assistant Professor of Finance, at NYU Stern School of Business. for Rangarajan Sundaram, Professor of Finance, Faculty member, Master of Science in Risk Management Program at NYU Stern School of Business.
Original Webcast: Tuesday, September 18, 2012 at 12 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time
Abstract: Since 2005, recovery rates in the multi-trillion dollar credit default swap (CDS) market have been determined using a novel and complex auction format.
This webinar undertakes the first detailed empirical investigation of these auctions. We find that the auction price is significantly biased compared to pre- and post-auction market prices for the same instruments, with the average bias exceeding 20%. Nonetheless, we find that the auction is also significantly informative: Econometric analysis shows that information generated in the auction is critical for post-auction market price formation. Auction outcomes are heavily influenced by ``winner's curse'' concerns and by the exercise of monopsonistic market power, each of which contributes to the observed bias. Finally, structural estimation of the auction under some simplifying assumptions suggests that alternative auction formats could reduce substantially the bias in the auction final price.
This webinar will last 60 to 75 minutes.
