Abstract
This study examines the lead-lag relationship between the stock market and CDS market in Korea using the firm-level data during 2006-2009. Our main findings can be summarized as follows. First, our empirical finding shows that stock returns Granger cause CDS spread changes for a larger number of firms than vice versa. Second, the sub-sample analysis reveals that while the stock market leads the CDS market in each sub-sample, the lead-lag relationship is more pronounced in the post-crisis period. Finally, our main findings remain the same even in the presence of controlling variables such as equity volatilities, absolute bid-ask spreads, and CDS premium on foreign exchange stabilization bonds issued by Korean government. In sum, consistent with the U. S. and U. K. evidence, it appears that the stock market leads the CDS market in Korea.

Abstract
This paper investigates a retrospective on the Journal of Derivatives and Quantitative Studies (JDQS) on its 30th anniversary based on bibliometric. JDQSs yearly publications, citations, impact factors, and centrality indices grew up in early 2010s, and diminished in 2020. Keyword network analysis reveals the JDQS's main keywords including behavioral finance, implied volatility, information asymmetry, price discovery, KOSPI200 futures, volatility, and KOSPI200 options. Citations of JDQS articles are mainly driven by article age, demeaned age squared, conference, nonacademic authors and language. In comparison between number of views and downloads for JDQS articles, we find that recent changes in publisher and editorial and publishing policies have increased visibility of JDQS.
