Abstract

The American Treasury bond markets have suffered catastrophic losses due to the subprime crisis, which erupted in 2007. We study in this paper the contagion of this crisis by examining the increase links between these markets and the U.S. subprime loan market. We use a VAR model considered most suitable for this purpose. Our study is based on the prices of subprime Asset-backed collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) and changes in U.S. Treasury bond yields. Our results support the hypothesis of contagion from the subprime crisis between the U.S. financial markets.
