Credit Default Swap Regulation in Experimental Bond Markets

Abstract: Credit default swaps (CDS) played an important role in the financial crisis of 2008. While CDS can be used to hedge risks, they can also be used for speculative purposes (as occurred during the financial crisis) and regulations have been proposed to limit such speculative use. Here, we provide the first controlled experiment analyzing the pricing of credit default swaps in a bond market subject to default risk. We further use the laboratory as a testbed to analyze CDS regulation. Our results show that the regu… Show more

“…In Weber et al (2019), we analyze the role of credit default swap (CDS) regulation experimentally . We find that it is possible, in the laboratory, to introduce CDS regulation that increases the usage of CDS for hedging purposes while decreasing speculation.…”

“…Shestakova et al (2019) investigate bubble formation in markets with a mix of experienced and inexperienced traders and find some reoccurring bubbles (with a decreasing fundamental value; the bubbles that reoccur are of moderate magnitudes). Weber et al (2019) consider trade in bonds and credit default swaps and find that bubbles disappear with experience in the bond markets but not in the credit default swap markets. Weitzel that bubbles would never disappear; if we repeated the market many times, we could possibly observe that the bubbles disappear (we discuss this in more detail in Section 3.2).…”
