Can the bond market reveal connections between firms that stock investors have yet to fully recognize? 📈

A new study co-authored by Feng Jian, assistant professor at Peking University HSBC Business School, identifies firms’ economic links through credit-rating comovement in the corporate bond market and finds that these links can predict returns across related stocks.

Published in the Journal of Financial Economics, the study points to segmentation between equity and bond markets as a key mechanism. The findings show that equity analysts gradually incorporate information embedded in credit-rating comovement links into their forecasts.

The research offers new evidence on how information travels across firms and financial markets.

Can we design a fairer system for assigning asylum seekers to EU member states — one that respects refugees' preferences AND states' capacities?

Under the EU’s current asylum system, people generally apply in the country where they first enter the EU. This can place disproportionate pressure on border countries while giving asylum seekers little say in which country handles their application.

Published in Economic Theory, a new paper co-authored by PHBS Assistant Professor Manshu Khanna examines how asylum assignment could better account for the preferences and constraints of both asylum seekers and member states.
