Abstract

We show how multivariate GARCH models can be used to generate a time-varying “information share” (Hasbrouck, 1995) to represent the changing patterns of price discovery in closely related securities. By focusing on credit spreads obtained from different markets, we also find that a time-varying information share can improve credit spread predictions.

Keywords: credit spreads, price discovery, multivariate GARCH
