Third, we analyze the determinants behind credit risk co-movements and the role of … contagion using regression analysis. Our results reveal a high degree of co-movements in sovereign credit risk, especially for …

This paper analyzes sovereign risk contagion in the Eurozone using an extension to the canonical model for contagion … contagion in typically bounded time intervals. Controlling for changes in the risk pricing by investors, we detect several … channels of pure contagion between 2008 and 2012. Further, we find that the bailout-programs for Greece, Ireland and Portugal …
