Note. This table displays coefficient estimates of the OLS, quantile, and the Daubechies 4 wavelet quantile regression for the influence of VIX on CDX.NA.HY. VIX (Chicago board options exchange volatility index) denotes the investor fear proxy. CDX.NA.HY denotes the differences of the composite spread and theoretical spread for the North America High Yield index. ,, and denote the statistical significance at 1%, 5%, and 10% levels, respectively.
