ABSTRACT
With the outbreak of many major default events in China's bond market, the problem of corporate bond default prediction has increasingly become the focus of academic and practical circles, and machine learning and deep learning algorithms have been widely used. By constructing a random forest-BP neural network model and a random forest model based on convolutional neural network, we make an empirical analysis of the financial data of listed companies whose bonds default or are due to be paid from 2014 to 2019, and compare the prediction results of the algorithms to test the effectiveness of the models. The empirical results show that the random forest model based on convolutional neural network is the best in the prediction of corporate credit default, and the combined model has better performance than the single model.

Informed Bond Trading, Corporate Yield Spreads, and Corporate Default Prediction
Taking advantage of recently augmented corporate bond transaction data, we examine the pricing implications of informed trading in corporate bonds and its ability to predict corporate defaults. We find that microstructure measures of information ...
Credit Default Swaps and Debt Overhang
We analyze the impact of credit default swaps (CDSs) trading on firm investment, long-term debt financing, and valuation. In our model, the firm is endowed with a real option to initiate a project and enhance its future growth. Its creditors have access ...
Corporate Bond Pricing Model with Interaction between Liquidity and Credit Risk
This study derives a liquidity and credit risk-adjusted capital asset pricing model and investigates the model using the data set in China's corporate bond market. Our research shows that the channels through which liquidity risk affects corporate bond ...
