We analyze how concerns for model misspecification on the part of international lenders affect the desirability of issuing state-contingent debt instruments in a standard sovereign default model à la Eaton and Gersovitz (1981). We show that for the commonly used threshold state-contingent bond...

This paper analyzes private debt maturity choices in a dynamic macroeconomic model in which financial frictions give … rise to systemic risk in the form of amplification effects, and shows that decentralized maturity decisions may result in a … balance sheet, but they come at an extra cost. The debt maturity structure therefore maps into an allocation of aggregate risk …

This study investigates the effects of political uncertainty (PU) on corporate debt maturity and leverage using a novel … measure of firm-specific PU. We find that PU is negatively associated with debt maturity and leverage. Furthermore, the … negative effects of PU on debt maturity and leverage are more pronounced for firms with greater investment reversibility and a …

We analyse the effect of the uncertainty about the fundamentals on the probability of sudden stops of capital flows from a theoretical and empirical perspective. Our model predicts that the probability of crises increases with the uncertainty, ie. the dispersion of private signals about the true...

The U.S. could be the source of the global financial risk because it longs risky assets and shorts safe assets in the international capital market. This paper builds a stylized two-country model to highlight that when the developed country's risk-bearing capacity improves, it holds more foreign...
