Determinants of Underwriters' Spreads on Tax Exempt Bond Issues*

Author

  • West, Richard R.

Abstract

This paper examines the determinants of underwriters' spreads on tax exempt bond issues. In particular, it investigates the effect on spreads of differences in issue quality, term to maturity, and size. In addition, changing money market conditions and variations in the degree of competition among underwriters of tax exempts are analyzed for their influence on spread behavior. The relationships are studied for virtually all state bond issues sold between July 1, 1959 and December 31, 1965. The principal method of investigation is multiple regression analysis.
