Foreign bank presence has substantially increased in Latin America during the second half of the 1990s, which has prompted an intense debate on its banking and macroeconomic consequences. In this paper, we apply ARCH techniques to jointly estimate the impact of foreign bank presence on the level...

This paper applies the model presented by J. Merrick Jr. (2001) to estimate both the default recovery rates and the implied default probabilities of the Argentinean Sovereign Bonds during the crisis which took place in December 2001. Between October 19th and December 24th 2001, the average bond...

This paper estimates both the default recovery values and the risk-neutral default probabilities embedded in the argentine sovereign bond prices during the crisis of December 2001. It is applied the model presented by J. Merrick Jr. (2001). On De- cember 24th, a stand-in president announced the...
