Abstract

In this paper, we test whether oil price uncertainty predicts CDS returns for eight Asian countries. We use the Westerlund and Narayan (2011, 2012) predictability test that takes into consideration persistency, endogeneity, and heteroskedasticity of the data. In-sample evidence reveals that oil price uncertainty can predict CDS returns for three Asian countries whereas the out-of-sample evidence suggests that oil price uncertainty can predict CDS returns for six countries.
