Journal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract Using the universe of transaction‐level data in the U.S. corporate bond market around uninformative downgrades, we find an abnormal increase in trading volume, abnormal bond returns, and a subsequent reversal. On the contrary, we do not find a reversal for abnormal bond returns associated with informative rating actions.
