内容简介：
Corporate bonds carry a premium of extreme illiquidity (EIL). This premium permeates all rating categories and heightens in times of stress and periods with high uncertainty. EIL has predictive power in the cross-section for future returns up to at least a one-year horizon. Active investors like mutual funds prefer low EIL bonds that can be easily liquidated in bad times, whereas passive institutional investors overweight high EIL bonds to receive the EIL premium. While adding an EIL factor constructed from portfolios to the factor model increases explanatory power, its effect is largely subsumed by bond-level EIL in a horserace regression.
公司债券具有极端非流动性（EIL）的溢价。这种溢价渗透到所有评级类别，并会在压力时期和高度不确定性时期增加。EIL在横截面上对未来至少一年的回报具有预测能力。像共同基金这样的活跃投资者偏爱在萧条时期易于清算的低EIL债券，而被动机构投资者则偏向于持有高EIL债券以获得EIL溢价。虽然将由投资组合构建的EIL因子添加到因子模型会增加解释力，但在赛马回归中，这一影响在很大程度上被包含在债券层面的EIL内。
