The asymmetric relationship between state media tone and the Chinese bond market during COVID-19: Evidence from a nonlinear ARDL model
In this study, we examine the asymmetric relationship between the tone of state media—China Central Television (CCTV)—and the bond market during the COVID-19 pandemic in China using a nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag model. We find a long-term cointegrated but asymmetric relationship between changes in the tone of CCTV News on COVID-19 and aggregate bond market returns, while the short-run analysis finds a stronger contemporaneous bond market reaction to negative CCTV tone changes than to positive ones. Sectoral bond market results indicate that both short- and long-term market reactions to changes in CCTV tone are stronger in bonds backed by the government, including treasury bonds, municipal bonds, and policy market bonds. Regarding bonds with different credit ratings, we document a nonsignificant long-term reaction to CCTV tone changes in the AAA credit rating group. Finally, for bonds with various maturities, we find that long-maturity treasury bonds are insensitive to changes in CCTV tone in both the short and long run.
期刊介绍:
Behavioral and Experimental Finance represent lenses and approaches through which we can view financial decision-making. The aim of the journal is to publish high quality research in all fields of finance, where such research is carried out with a behavioral perspective and / or is carried out via experimental methods. It is open to but not limited to papers which cover investigations of biases, the role of various neurological markers in financial decision making, national and organizational culture as it impacts financial decision making, sentiment and asset pricing, the design and implementation of experiments to investigate financial decision making and trading, methodological experiments, and natural experiments.
Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Finance welcomes full-length and short letter papers in the area of behavioral finance and experimental finance. The focus is on rapid dissemination of high-impact research in these areas.
