    内容提要

    运用CDS交易数据,我们发现套期保值者的CDS利差要低于投机者的利差。换言之,对于购买来自同一卖家同一产品的两位投资者,购买CDS用于套期保值的投资者可以获得更优惠的价格。获得价格优惠的套期保值者从2008-2009的金融危机后开始增加。价格优惠在经纪人-客户交易以及更波动的市场中更为显著。我们的发现给投机者价格歧视提供了经验证据。投机者价格歧视是场外交易市场的一个普遍假设。同时,我们的发现不是源于交易员的老道经验或者持有相对应底层债务而获得的私有信息。总而言之,我们的结果揭示了套期保值者在CDS市场中更受青睐,同时危机后监管让CDS交易中的“裸奔”(投机者)交易变得更为昂贵。

    Using CDS transaction-level data, we document that CDS spread is lower for hedgers than for speculators. That is, for two investors who buy CDS on the same reference name from the same CDS seller, the one who buys CDS for hedging receives a more favorable price than the other for speculation. The price discount hedgers started to emerge after the 2008-09 credit crisis. The price discount is more pronounced in dealer-to-client trading, and in more volatile markets. Our findings provide evidence for price discrimination against speculators, a common assumption made in the over-the-counter derivatives literature. Meanwhile, our finding is not explained by trader sophistication or private information from holding the reference debt. Overall, our results suggest that hedgers are favored in the CDS market, and the post-crisis regulations on CDS trading may have led ‘naked’ CDS transaction to be more expensive.
