Abstract This paper examines the impact of private municipal bond insurance on the interest costs of local government bonds. Based on the examination of True Interest Costs of both guaranteed and non-guaranteed municipal bonds over a three year period, results indicate that, on average, the interest costs of guaranteed bonds are significantly less than costs estimated for bonds without such protection. Investors in insured municipal bonds seem to demand a greater risk premium for the insurance coverage as the underlying credit rating of the issue rises. Show
