Sovereign Securitization in Emerging Markets
Over many years, securitization has proven to be an expedient and highly flexible refinancing tool for corporates and public sector entities that seek a more accurate capital-market based valuation of asset performance. After successful securitization by public sector entities in advanced countries, also sovereigns in emerging economies are becoming adept at securitization as an efficient means...
متن کاملRegime Switching Interest Rates and Fluctuations in Emerging Markets∗
Many emerging economies have experienced current account reversals followed by large declines in economic activity. These sudden stops are reflected in their real interest rates, which alternate between tranquil times, when the level is relatively low and stable, and crises, during which interest rates are higher and more volatile. We embed an estimated regime switching process of interest rate...
متن کاملDeterminant of Sovereign Default— Does Political Factors Matter?
In this paper, I study the impact of political risk on sovereign default. An extended model of Alesina and Tabellini (1990) shows that political instability increases the likelihood of default. To test the theoretical implication, a panel logit model is adopted to estimate the effect of political factors, along with other macroeconomic variables on the probability of default. Data from 68 count...

Uncertainty plays an important role in The General Theory, particularly in the theory of interest rates. Keynes did not provide a theory of uncertainty, but he did make some enlightening remarks about the direction he thought such a theory should take. I argue that some modern innovations in the theory of probability allow us to build a theory which captures these Keynesian insights. If this is...

This article develops a framework that combines the economics behind the structural modeling of sovereign credit risk, corporate capital structure, and the equilibrium modeling of international asset pricing. The default decisions of the sovereign and the firm are derived optimally and embedded in a two-country, two-good consumption-based asset-pricing model with a representative risk-averse ag...
