The Zero Risk Fallacy? Banks' Sovereign Exposure and Sovereign Risk Spillovers [PDF]

Sovereign Risk and Bank Fragility [PDF]
We develop a model of bank risk-taking with strategic sovereign default risk. Domestic banks invest in real projects and purchase government bonds. While an increase in bond purchases crowds out profitable investments, it improves the government's incentives to repay and therefore lowers its borrowing costs.

AbstractThe first Greek bailout on April 11, 2010 triggered a significant reevaluation of sovereign credit risk across Europe.

Sovereign Risk and Secondary Markets [PDF]

We show that this conventional wisdom rests on one implicit assumption: that assets cannot be retraded in secondary markets.
