Municipal Finance Journal, 2006, vol. 27, issue 2, 39 - 52

Abstract: This paper investigates how the municipal market initially responded to the fiscal stress caused by Hurricane Katrina, as indicated by trading activity and prices of New Orleans municipal bonds. The reaction of the municipal bond market post-Katrina provides important insights into the relationships among credit uncertainty, trading activity, and bond prices. The paper concludes with a brief comparison between the market response to Katrina and the market reaction to the Orange County, California, bankruptcy.
