Sovereign Debt Buybacks Can Bargaining Costs (Classic Reprint)
Author: Julio Rotemberg
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780666599841
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 36
Book Description
Excerpt from Sovereign Debt Buybacks Can Bargaining Costs Highly indebted countries and their creditor banks have experimented with numerous approaches to ameliorate the LDC Debt Crisis. One rather popular approach is to have the country repurchase its debt at its current market price. Since the debt currently trades below par, countries pay less than they would if they actually honored their debts. The repurchase, or buyback, recognizes that the debts are very unlikely to be paid in full. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Sovereign Debt Buybacks Can Lower Bargaining Costs
Author: Julio Rotemberg
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Debt relief
Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
I develop two models in which debt repurchases by highly indebted sovereign nations are advantageous for all parties. The models are based on the idea that when sovereign debts are large, bargaining costs are large. Creditors spend more resources convincing the debtor that they are tough when they have more at stake. Also, the sanctions which are sometimes triggered when bargaining fails to produce an agreement are larger when debts are larger. For both these reasons buybacks, which reduce the face value of the outstanding debt, can be beneficial. The resulting equilibria are constrained Pareto Optima. But, donors who subsidize buybacks increase overall welfare more than donors who make direct gifts. I also argue that Bulow and Rogoff (1988)'s empirical evidence on buybacks is consistent with my models.

Voluntary Debt Reduction

Languages : en
Pages : 22
Book Description
This paper provides empirical evidence on the determinants of long-term growth performance in a sample of 55 developing countries grouped by income levels. The evidence indicates that a model incorporating the savings rate, export performance, expenditures on human capital development, the growth of population, and the real interest rate on external debt, explains the growth performance of these countries remarkably well. The model also suggests policies that would lead to higher long-run rates of growth.

Book Description
This Guide provides clear, up-to-date guidance on the concepts, definitions, and classifications of the gross external debt of the public and private sectors, and on the sources, compilation techniques, and analytical uses of these data.
