SOVEREIGN DEFAULT RISK AND DEPOSITOR BEHAVIOR. THE CASE OF GREECE

open access: yesRevista de Economía Política de Buenos Aires, 2014
This paper studies the effect of the Greek macroeconomic crisis on depositors’ behavior. It tests the main hypothesis during that period depositors react more to sovereign risk than to the idiosyncratic indicators of bank health.

Debt Dilution and Sovereign Default Risk [PDF]

open access: yesIMF Working Papers, 2011
We propose a modification to a baseline sovereign default framework that allows us to quantify the importance of debt dilution in accounting for the level and volatility of the interest rate spread paid by sovereigns. We measure the effects of debt dilution by comparing the simulations of the baseline model (with debt dilution) with the ones of the ...

Sovereign Default Risk and Uncertainty Premia [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Economic Journal: Macroeconomics, 2015
This paper studies how international investors' concerns about model misspecification affect sovereign bond spreads. We develop a general equilibrium model of sovereign debt with endogenous default wherein investors fear that the probability model of the underlying state of the borrowing economy is misspecified.

Fiscal commitment and sovereign default risk [PDF]

open access: yesReview of Economic Dynamics, 2018
Abstract This paper studies the interaction between fiscal commitment and sovereign default risk in a model with optimal taxation and government spending. A time-inconsistency problem arises in our framework as the government cannot credibly commit to its future tax policies.

The “forward premium puzzle” and the sovereign default risk [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of International Money and Finance, 2013
Carry-trade strategies which consist of buying forward high-yield currencies tend to yield positive excess returns when global financial markets are booming, whereas they generate losses during crises. Firstly, we show that the sovereign default risk, which is taken on by investing in high-yield currencies, may increase the magnitude of the gains ...

Estimating Sovereign Default Risk [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Economic Review, 2012
This paper uses Bayesian methods to estimate the sovereign default probability for Greece and Italy in the post-EMU period. We build a real business cycle model that allows for interactions among fiscal policy instruments, sovereign default risk, and a “fiscal limit,” which measures the maximum level of debt the government is willing to finance.

Non-Defaultable Debt and Sovereign Risk

open access: yesIMF Working Papers, 2014
We quantify gains from introducing non-defaultable debt as a limited additional financing option into a model of equilibrium sovereign risk. We find that, for an initial (defaultable) sovereign debt level equal to 66 percent of trend aggregate income and a sovereign spread of 2.9 percent, introducing the possibility of issuing non-defaultable debt for ...

Interest Rate Uncertainty and Sovereign Default Risk [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2018
International data suggests that fluctuations in the level and volatility of the world interest rate (as measured by the US treasury bill rate) are positively correlated with both the level and volatility of sovereign spreads in emerging economies. We incorporate an estimated time-varying process for the world interest rate into a model of sovereign ...

Conditional Euro Area Sovereign Default Risk [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Business & Economic Statistics, 2013
We propose an empirical framework to assess the likelihood of joint and conditional sovereign default from observed CDS prices. Our model is based on a dynamic skewed-t distribution that captures all salient features of the data, including skewed and heavy-tailed changes in the price of CDS protection against sovereign default, as well as dynamic ...
