One of the main conclusions of Reinhart and Rogoff’s study of sovereign debt crises, highlighted in its title This Time is Different, is that markets for sovereign debt are prone to manic mood swings. When things go well for an extended period, lenders tend to underestimate risks of crisis. They are too short-sighted even to anticipate their own vulnerability to self-fulfilling panic. This paper shows that rational learning about unstable risks can explain most of these phenomena, even when perceptions don’t affect the underlying default risks. Between the relative infrequency of default and the small number of relevant comparators, sovereign debt markets are bound to make rational learners unusually sensitive to recent news. The resulting “rational myopia” makes both confidence and lack of confidence fickle. This can be useful from a policy perspective since it speeds recovery after crisis. However, one bad surprise can deflate it. Simulations show striking understatement of risk on the eve of default. Hence our analysis supports Reinhart and Rogoff’s warning (2009, xxv) that “excessive debt accumulation […] often poses greater system risks than it seems during a boom”. Indeed, it implicitly calls for extra vigilance by policymakers, to help check what lenders almost surely won’t.
莱因哈特和罗格夫对主权债务危机的研究得出的主要结论之一是,主权债务市场容易出现狂躁的情绪波动。当情况在较长一段时间内进展顺利时,贷款人往往会低估危机的风险。他们的目光过于短浅,甚至没有预料到自己容易陷入自我实现的恐慌。本文表明,对不稳定风险的理性学习可以解释大多数这些现象,即使感知不影响潜在的违约风险。由于违约发生的频率相对较低,而相关可比指标数量较少,主权债务市场必然会让理性的学习者对近期新闻异常敏感。由此产生的“理性短视”使得自信和缺乏自信都是变幻无常的。从政策角度来看,这可能是有用的,因为它可以加速危机后的复苏。然而,一个糟糕的惊喜可能会让它泄气。模拟显示,在违约前夕,风险被严重低估。因此,我们的分析支持莱因哈特和罗格夫的警告(2009年,第25期),即“过度债务积累(……)往往造成比繁荣时期看起来更大的系统风险”。事实上,它含蓄地呼吁政策制定者提高警惕,帮助检查放贷机构几乎肯定不会做的事情。

Have Contagion Effects Occurred in the Eurozone During the Sovereign Debt Crisis? 主权债务危机期间,欧元区是否出现了传染效应?

The aim of this paper is to detect the existence of financial contagion effects in the Eurozone countries during the sovereign debt crisis. To achieve this purpose, the authors will analyse the contagion effects through the event study methodology and simple regression model, investigating how relevant European press releases (since now called news) affected the performance of Credit Default Swap (CDS), which is a widely used type of credit derivative able to protect an investor from the counter-party's inability to repay its debt. In the study the authors will consider the CDS of three European countries, such as Greece, Germany and United Kingdom, which have different economic and monetary conditions between each other. In conclusion, the outputs of the study will highlight that a financial contagion exists among the selected news and the Eurozone countries, Greece and Germany; whereas there is no considerable evidence of contagion on United Kingdom’s CDS.
本文的目的是检测主权债务危机期间欧元区国家是否存在金融传染效应。为了达到这一目的,作者将通过事件研究方法和简单回归模型分析传染效应,调查相关的欧洲新闻稿(现在称为新闻)如何影响信用违约掉期(CDS)的表现,CDS是一种广泛使用的信用衍生品,能够保护投资者免受交易对手无力偿还债务的影响。在研究中,作者将考虑三个欧洲国家的CDS,如希腊、德国和英国,它们之间的经济和货币条件不同。总而言之,研究的结果将强调,在选定的新闻和欧元区国家,希腊和德国之间存在金融传染;而没有足够的证据表明英国的CDS会受到传染。

Secular Stagnation and Low Interest Rates Under the Fear of a Government Debt Crisis 长期停滞和低利率在政府债务危机的恐惧下
Pub Date : 2020-04-23 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3583298

By using a model incorporating a crisis risk triggered by the accumulation of government debt, we provide a new perspective to explain the driving forces behind secular stagnation associated with a persistent decrease in interest rates. According to the model, the fear of the imposition of a large-scale capital levy in the face of a crisis helps explain Japans decades of persistent stagnation by almost one quarter. As government debt accumulates, not only the level but also the growth rate of output declines persistently, while the government bond yield decreases. We then discuss the possible mechanisms that induce people to share the expectation of a capital levy at the time of a government debt crisis from the historical, theoretical, and political points of view. The model also shows that a permanent increase in consumption tax, which prevents a government debt crisis from occurring, increases social welfare.
通过使用一个包含由政府债务积累引发的危机风险的模型,我们提供了一个新的视角来解释与利率持续下降相关的长期停滞背后的驱动力。根据该模型,对在危机面前征收大规模资本税的担忧,有助于解释日本几十年来持续停滞的近四分之一。随着政府债务的积累,不仅产出水平持续下降,而且产出增长率持续下降,同时政府债券收益率下降。然后,我们从历史、理论和政治的角度讨论了在政府债务危机时诱导人们分享资本征税预期的可能机制。该模型还表明,永久提高消费税可以防止政府债务危机的发生,从而增加社会福利。

Literature Review: Critique of European Monetary Union 文献综述:欧洲货币联盟批判
Pub Date : 2019-05-07 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3383916
C. Zipper, G. Lechner
The paper summarizes the literature of the explanations of the European debt crisis. We mainly use literature which was published after the financial crisis 2007/08. Many papers were written about the topic, but there is no clear overview about the different EMU critique. This paper tries to fill this gap. The discussions about advantages and disadvantages started at the end of the 1980s, but they intensified during and after the debt crisis. We classified the literature into non-European and European Economic Monetary Union (EMU) critique. Within the non-European literature especially US economists are relevant who referred to the issue of Optimal Currency Area (OCA). Europe did not fulfil the OCA criteria in their view. The European critique can be divided into ordoliberal, Post-Keynesian and heterodox thoughts. Most relevant for politics is still the ordo liberal EMU critique.
本文对解释欧债危机的文献进行了综述。我们主要使用2007/08年金融危机之后出版的文献。许多论文都是关于这个话题的,但没有对不同的欧洲货币联盟批评进行明确的概述。本文试图填补这一空白。关于利与弊的讨论始于20世纪80年代末,但在债务危机期间和之后,讨论更加激烈。我们将文献分为非欧洲和欧洲经济货币联盟(EMU)的批评。在非欧洲文献中,特别是美国经济学家提到了最优货币区(OCA)问题。他们认为,欧洲没有达到亚奥理事会的标准。欧洲的批判可以分为自由主义、后凯恩斯主义和非正统思想。与政治最相关的仍然是对欧洲货币联盟的批评。

China-Venezuelan Economic Relations: Hedging Venezuelan Bets with Chinese Characteristics 中国—委内瑞拉经济关系:用中国特色为委内瑞拉对冲风险
Pub Date : 2019-02-20 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3459035
S. Kaplan, M. Penfold
China is Venezuela’s largest bilateral lender as well as a source of diplomatic support. Yet for half a decade Beijing has been steadily unwinding its financial ties with the struggling South American nation. In this article, we demonstrate how China has been ensnarled in a creditor trap in Venezuela. For years, China lent to Venezuela with few policy conditions, securing their lending with loan-for-oil deals and wagering that Venezuela’s oil production capacity was a sufficient guarantee for debt repayment. However, under the shaky leadership of Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela’s economic and political dysfunction has grown at the same time that Chinese confidence in the Bolivarian nation appears to have plummeted. China’s recent lending has been defensive, providing some temporary debt relief to Venezuela to protect Beijing’s considerable financial commitments in the country. At the same time, the Asian giant has signaled its willingness to work with opposition leaders. What does the future hold for China-Venezuela relations, in both economic and political terms?
中国是委内瑞拉最大的双边贷方,也是外交支持的来源。然而,5年来,北京方面一直在逐步解除与这个苦苦挣扎的南美国家的金融联系。在本文中,我们将展示中国是如何陷入委内瑞拉的债权人陷阱的。多年来,中国向委内瑞拉提供的贷款几乎不附带任何政策条件,通过贷款换石油协议获得贷款,并押注委内瑞拉的石油生产能力足以保证其偿还债务。然而,在Nicolás马杜罗摇摇欲坠的领导下,委内瑞拉的经济和政治功能失调加剧,与此同时,中国对这个玻利瓦尔国家的信心似乎直线下降。中国最近的贷款是防御性的,为委内瑞拉提供了一些暂时的债务减免,以保护中国在该国的大量财政承诺。与此同时,这个亚洲巨人也表示愿意与反对派领导人合作。中委关系的经济和政治前景如何?

Forecasting European Economic Policy Uncertainty 预测欧洲经济政策的不确定性
Pub Date : 2019-01-03 DOI: 10.1111/sjpe.12174
Stavros Degiannakis, G. Filis
Forecasting the economic policy uncertainty in Europe is of paramount importance given the on-going debt crisis and the Brexit vote. This paper evaluates monthly out-of-sample economic policy uncertainty index forecasts and examines whether ultra-high frequency information from asset market volatilities and global economic policy uncertainty can improve the forecasts relatively to the no-change forecast. The results show that the global economic policy uncertainty provides the highest predictive gains, followed by the European and US stock market volatilities. The results hold true even when we consider the directional accuracy.
考虑到持续的债务危机和英国脱欧公投,预测欧洲经济政策的不确定性至关重要。本文评估每月的样本外经济政策不确定性指数预测,并检验来自资产市场波动和全球经济政策不确定性的超高频信息是否能相对于无变化预测改善预测。结果显示,全球经济政策的不确定性提供了最高的预测收益,其次是欧洲和美国股市的波动。即使在考虑方向精度的情况下,结果仍然成立。

Model-Based Estimation of Sovereign Default 基于模型的主权违约估计
Pub Date : 2018-07-27 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3056539
I. Gumus, Junko Koeda
We estimate a canonical sovereign default model from Arellano (2008) for Argentina via maximum simulated likelihood estimation to understand how well it performs in terms of predicting default events. The estimated model accounts for the overall default patterns of Argentina and closely matches the default data. Out-of-sample forecasting shows that the model performs better than a logit model in predicting the onset of default events. In terms of the business cycle statistics, the findings of the model are consistent with the data and Arellano (2008), with some caveats.
我们通过最大模拟似然估计来估计Arellano(2008)对阿根廷的典型主权违约模型,以了解它在预测违约事件方面的表现如何。估计的模型解释了阿根廷的总体违约模式,并与违约数据密切匹配。样本外预测表明,该模型在预测违约事件发生方面优于logit模型。在商业周期统计方面,模型的发现与数据和Arellano(2008)一致,但有一些警告。

Domestic Banks as Lightning Rods? Home Bias and Information During Eurozone Crisis 国内银行成为避雷针?欧元区危机中的本土偏见与信息
Pub Date : 2017-02-17 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2865247
O. Saka
European banks have been criticized for holding excessive domestic government debt during economic downturns, which may have intensified the diabolic loop between sovereign and bank credit risks. By using a novel bank-level dataset covering the entire timeline of the Eurozone crisis, I first re-confirm that the crisis led to the reallocation of sovereign debt from foreign to domestic banks. This reallocation was only visible for banks as opposed to other domestic private agents and it cannot be explained by the banks' risk-shifting tendency. In contrast to the recent literature focusing only on sovereign debt, I show that banks' private sector exposures were (at least) equally affected by a rise in home bias. Finally, consistent with these patterns, I propose a new debt reallocation channel based on informational frictions and show that informationally closer foreign banks increase their relative exposures when sovereign risk rises. The effect of informational closeness is economically meaningful and robust to the use of different information measures and controls for alternative channels of sovereign debt reallocation.
欧洲银行因在经济低迷时期持有过多的国内政府债务而受到批评,这可能加剧了主权债务与银行信贷风险之间的恶性循环。通过使用一个新的银行层面的数据集,涵盖了欧元区危机的整个时间线,我首先再次确认,危机导致主权债务从外国银行重新配置到国内银行。这种再分配只对银行可见,而对其他国内私人代理则不可见,而且不能用银行的风险转移倾向来解释。与最近只关注主权债务的文献不同,我表明,银行的私人部门敞口(至少)同样受到本土偏好上升的影响。最后,与这些模式一致,我提出了一种基于信息摩擦的新的债务再分配渠道,并表明当主权风险上升时,信息更接近的外国银行会增加它们的相对敞口。对主权债务再分配的替代渠道使用不同的信息措施和控制,信息接近性的影响在经济上是有意义的和稳健的。

Political Economics of External Sovereign Defaults 外部主权违约的政治经济学

We develop a dynamic recursive model where political and economic decisions interact, to study how excessive debt-GDP ratios affect political sustainability of prudent fiscal policies. Rent seeking groups make political decisions – to cooperate (or not) – on the allocation of fiscal budgets (including rents) and issuance of sovereign debt. A classic commons problem triggers collective fiscal impatience and excessive debt issuing, leading to a vicious circle of high borrowing costs and sovereign default. We analytically characterize debt-GDP thresholds that foster cooperation among rent seeking groups and avoid default. Our analysis and application helps in understanding the politico-economic sustainability of sovereign rescues, emphasizing the need for fiscal targets and possible debt haircuts. We provide a calibrated example that quantifies the threshold debt-GDP ratio at 137%, remarkably close to the target set for private sector involvement in the case of Greece.
我们开发了一个动态递归模型,其中政治和经济决策相互作用,研究过度的债务- gdp比率如何影响审慎财政政策的政治可持续性。寻租集团就财政预算(包括租金)的分配和主权债务的发行做出政治决定——合作(或不合作)。一个典型的公共问题会引发集体财政不耐烦和过度发债,从而导致高借贷成本和主权违约的恶性循环。我们分析了债务- gdp阈值的特征,以促进寻租群体之间的合作并避免违约。我们的分析和应用有助于理解主权救助的政治经济可持续性,强调财政目标和可能的债务减值的必要性。我们提供了一个经过校准的例子,将门槛债务- gdp比率量化为137%,非常接近希腊私营部门参与的目标。

We examine how the composition of public debt, broken down by currency, maturity, holder profile and marketability, has responded to major debt accumulation and consolidation episodes during 1900-2011. Covering thirteen advanced economies, we focus on debt structure shifts that occurred around the two World Wars and global economic downturns, and the subsequent debt consolidations. Notwithstanding data gaps, we are able to recover some broad common patterns. Episodes of large debt accumulation - essentially, large increases in debt supply - were typically absorbed by increases in short-term, foreign currency-denominated, and banking-system-held debt. However, this pattern did not hold during the debt build-ups starting in the 1980s and 1990s, which were compositionally skewed toward long-term local-currency debt. We attribute this change to higher structural demand for sovereign paper, linked to capital account liberalization in advanced economies, the emergence of a large contractual saving sector, and innovative sovereign debt products. With regard to debt consolidations, we find support for the financial repression-cum-inflation channel for post World War II debt reductions. However, the scope for a repeat of this strategy appears limited unless financial liberalization and globalization were materially rolled back or the current globally agreed monetary policy regime built around price stability abandoned. Neither are significant favorable structural demand shifts, as witnessed in the 1980s and 1990s, likely.
我们研究了公共债务的构成(按货币、期限、持有人概况和可市场化程度分类)如何对1900-2011年期间的主要债务积累和整合事件做出反应。我们涵盖了13个发达经济体,重点关注两次世界大战和全球经济衰退期间发生的债务结构变化,以及随后的债务整合。尽管存在数据差距,但我们能够恢复一些广泛的共同模式。大规模债务积累的时期——本质上是债务供应的大幅增加——通常被短期、外币计价和银行系统持有债务的增加所吸收。然而,这种模式在1980年代和1990年代开始的债务积累期间并不成立,这些债务在构成上倾向于长期本币债务。我们将这一变化归因于对主权债券更高的结构性需求,这与发达经济体资本账户自由化、大型契约性储蓄部门的出现以及创新型主权债务产品有关。关于债务整合,我们发现二战后削减债务的金融抑制-通胀渠道得到了支持。然而,除非金融自由化和全球化实质性倒退,或者放弃目前建立在价格稳定基础上的全球商定的货币政策制度,否则重复这一战略的余地似乎有限。也不太可能出现像上世纪80年代和90年代那样有利的重大结构性需求转变。
