Returns are characterized by a limited response to unexpected changes in procyclical U.S. aggregates. Shocks to country-specific balance of payment indicators do not impact debt prices. Announcements of policy changes by creditors and third parties that presage changes in future lending induce large debt price changes. The failure of the data to meet the empirical arbitrage pricing theory restrictions and the large proportion of return variance unexplained by macroeconomic fundamentals highlight the differences between corporate and sovereign securities UR - http://elibrary.imf.org/view/IMF001/15727-9781451968989/15727-9781451968989/15727-9781451968989.xml UR - http://www.imfbookstore.org/IMFORG/9781451968989 ER -
