报告题目：Momentum in the US Corporate Bond Markets, Information and Outliers

报告内容：
The seminar will discuss the effect of outliers on financial economics empirical research focusing on the profitability of the momentum investment strategy in the US corporate bond market (Galvani and Li, 2021). Transaction-level (TRACE) data shows that momentum profitability crucially depends on outliers. Outlier trimming vanishes momentum returns, whereas winsorization yields a robust but conservative assessment of the momentum effect. Consistent with bond prices being more responsive to unfavorable shocks, negative (positive) outliers tend to increase (decrease) momentum profitability, indicating that outliers are not data errors that should simply be trimmed. Volume filters show that momentum profits during the 2007-2009 crisis were due to the activities of small investors. The results will be put in the context of recent discoveries on the effect of information diffusion in corporate bonds (Li and Galvani, RF, 2021).
