Convergence Patterns in Sovereign Bond Yield Spreads: Evidence from the Euro Area
This study examines the convergence patterns of Euro Area (EA) 17 countries’ sovereign bond yield spreads (relative to German bund) over the period of March 2002 to December 2015, by employing the convergence algorithm developed by Phillips and Sul (2007). The empirical findings suggest rejection of full convergence across the EA17 countries’ bond yields spreads, and the presence of a certain n...
متن کاملThe dynamics of spillover effects during the European sovereign debt turmoil
In this paper we develop empirical measures for the strength of spillover effects. Modifying and extending the framework by Diebold and Yilmaz (2011), we quantify spillovers between sovereign credit markets and banks in the euro area. Spillovers are estimated recursively from a vector autoregressive model of daily CDS spread changes, with exogenous common factors. We account for interdependenci...
متن کاملThe CDS Bond Basis Spread in Emerging Markets: Liquidity and Counterparty Risk E¤ects (Draft)
This paper explores the parity between CDS premiums and bond spreads for emerging market sovereign entities. Previous studies found that this parity holds between bonds and CDSs for US corporate debt. We nd that this parity does not hold for Emerging Markets sovereign debt. In order to explain the pricing deviations we focus on two frictions, liquidity and counterparty risk. First, we present ...
متن کاملSovereign risk and macroeconomic stability in the euro area
Sovereign risk premia have risen sharply in several European countries, contributed to increased credit spreads in the private sector. If monetary policy cannot offset these credit spreads because it is constrained by the zero lower bound, sovereign risk threatens macroeconomic stability: private-sector beliefs of a weakening economy may become self-fulfilling. In this paper, we put forward a t...
متن کاملKurdish Movements and Distributive Power Structures: A Theoretical Model to Understand the Rise and Fall of Kurdish Movements
Many studies have been conducted on the Kurds and their movements. Most authors have considered historical dimensions or applied limited theoretical variables, but have not been able to identify the variables to identify the key reasons behind the rise and fall of Kurdish movements in an explanatory theoretical model. Consequently, there is neither available data about their rise, continuity, a...
