Life Expectancy and Corporate Debt Markets

主讲人 Zhanhui Chen 简介 <div>We study the implications of longevity shocks on corporate bond markets, corporate debt financing, and investment via the lens of life insurers. Longevity shocks shift life insurers&rsquo; demand for bonds of specific maturities. When longevity increases, life insurance companies invest more in long-term bonds. Consequently, long-term bond yields decline. The corporate sector absorbs these shocks by shifting to long-term debt issuances while increasing investment in long-term assets. Our results suggest that improvements in life expectancy reduce long-term corporate financing costs and stimulate long-term corporate investment.</div>
