摘要
In this empirical study, monetary tightening is found to significantly raise the default risk on Baa bonds absolutely and relative to the default risk on Aaa bonds. Monetary easing, however, does not have a statistically significant effect on either of these variables. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
