Debt Restructuring Costs and Bankruptcy Risk: Evidence from CDS Spreads

We model these changes and sh...
متن کاملBankruptcy and Debt Portfolios
We use a heterogeneous-agent model, in which labor income is risky and markets are incomplete, to analyze consumer debt portfolios of secured and unsecured debt in the US.

The court is described by two parameters that correspond to enforcement costs and the amount of creditor/debtor protection. We provide a theoretical and quantitative characterization of the effect of these enforcement parameters on the contract loan rate, the default probability and welfare. We analyze...

Firmspecific, sector-specific and macroeconomic factors all influ...
