So the whole market developed very well and the circulation increased year by year.As one method of corporate financing, the corporate bond has attracted more and more attentions of people.To the investors, the most important issue is the rate of return through investing corporate bond.And the amount of rate of return call be reflected by the yield spreads.By clarifying the determinations of native corporate bond’s yield spreads, We got the pricing model for predicting the corporate bond’s yield spreads in the secondary market, and this call be helpful for the decision making of the participators in the corporate bond market.Firstly, on the basis of analyzing related literature about native and abroad corporate bond’s yield spreads, by using the theory of credit rick pricing and the related theories about liquidity premium, we extracted the main determinations of corporate bond’s yield spreads.Secondly, we selected the listed corporate bonds as research sample, and did an empirical research on the determinations of yield spreads in two aspects:the aspect of credit risk and the aspect of liquidity risk.This is the most important part of this article.In the aspect of credit risk, we clarified the determinations of micro and macro-situation from three parts:the situation of the bond itself, the issuing corporation and the macro-economy.In the aspect of liquidity risk, we mainly considered the determinations of the characteristics of the corporate bonds and corporate market.Thirdly, by using the method of structure modeling and multi-factor regression modeling analysis, we got the premium of the credit risk and the liquidity risk. Then we established the pricing model for predicting the corporate bond’s yield spreads in the secondary market.Finally, we gave several advices to native corporate bond market base on the research above.The innovation of this paper is to fully take advantage of increasingly sophisticated and effective corporate bond market more thorough quantitative research data on the spread.
