Popis: Using a framework motivated by the Adaptive Markets Hypothesis (AMH) I explore the extent to which the financial statement (FS) is relevant for Credit Default Swap (CDS) trading. I propose a Bayesian Model Averaging approach to examine properties of accounting metrics that enter the trading heuristics of the market participants. Hypothesis-testing is conducted on various horizons around the announcement of corporate results. The diversity of trading rules and the shift in the heuristics mix that occurred after 2008, support the AMH perspective. Overall, results show that there is a significant component of profit-motivated trading in the CDS market that relies on financial statement information.
