Book Description
This paper develops an international asset-pricing model with defaultable firms and governments that demonstrates how sovereign credit risk in Europe affects US equity market prices. The risk of a sovereign debt crisis is a threat to economic growth that reduces the value of international equities and increases their volatility. The effect is strongest under adverse economic conditions, when firms are in financial distress. A structural estimation of the model shows that sovereign default risk helps explain the level and the dynamics of equity volatility in Europe and the US over the 1991-2013 period.
