Informed trading
This paper investigates the dynamic relationship between CDS and stock market whether informed trading occurs in Japanese market. We find that the lead-lag relationship between CDS and stock market is not stable and that CDS market’s contribution to the price discovery process is much higher in times of crisis. In addition, the unconditional information flow from CDS to stock market exists, but primarily for keiretsu-affiliated firms. Furthermore, the flow of information from CDS market to stock market, which is conditional on there being a bad credit event ahead, exists only in times of crisis and only for keiretsu-affiliated firms
