Long-run Behaviour of Long-term Sovereign Bond Yields
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study assesses the long-run behaviour of long-term sovereign bond yields in OECD countries, for the period 1973-2008. We employ a dynamic panel approach, to reflect financial and economic integration, and to increase the performance and accuracy of the tests. Given the existence of cross-country dependence regarding the sovereign bond segment of the financial markets and its determinants, we resort to simulation and bootstrap methods for the analysis. Results show that in addition to credit and liquidity risk, and common movements in sovereign yields, investors also consider country differences arising from specific factors (inflation, budgetary and current account imbalances, and real effective exchange rates).

متن کاملLong-run and short-run determinants of sovereign bond yields in advanced economies
We analyze determinants of sovereign bond yields in 22 advanced economies over the 1980–2010 period using panel cointegration techniques. The application of the cointegration methodology allows distinguishing between long-run (debt-to-GDP ratio, potential growth) and short-run (inflation, short-term interest rates, etc.) determinants of sovereign borrowing costs. We find that in the long run, g...
متن کاملAn empirical analysis of the relationship between US and Colombian long-term sovereign bond yields
We study two issues: (i) the relationship between interest rates on US and Colombian sovereign debt and (ii) the short-term response of the Colombian longterm bond yield and other asset prices to shocks to the US long-term Treasury rate. We use daily data between 2004 and 2013. Separating the period into three intervals (before, during and after the financial crisis), we consider the first issu...
متن کاملFiscal Deficits, Public Debt, and Sovereign Bond Yields;by Emanuele Baldacci and Manmohan S. Kumar; IMF Working Paper 10/184;August 1, 2010
The recent sharp increase in fiscal deficits and government debt in many countries raises questions regarding their impact on long-term sovereign bond yields. While economic theory suggests that this impact is likely to be adverse, empirical results have been less clear cut, have generally ignored nonlinear effects of deficits and debt through some other key determinants of yields, and have bee...
متن کاملConvergence 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...
