Book Description
In an economy with a debt overhang, investment depends on expected tax rates. On the other hand, expected tax rates depend on the debt’s face value. Therefore investment depends on the face value of debt. I show that this may lead to a positive or negative association between debt and investment depending on the degree of international capital mobility and attitudes toward risk. There may also exist multiple equilibria; with high and low investment levels. The paper explores the desirability of debt reduction in this environment. First, it characterizes circumstances in which debt reduction is desirable from the collective point of view of the creditors. Second, it formulates the forgiveness decision as a noncooperative game among creditors and explores the scope for debt reduction as an outcome of this game.

Book Description
Debt reduction poses collective action problems that cannot be efficiently handled in the framework of voluntary market-based approaches. Instead we need concerted debt restructuring, based on below-market interest rates -- perhaps linked with credit enhancement by official creditors -- to provide the most direct mechanism for efficient, equitable sharing of losses.

Book Description
This paper discusses the potential effects of voluntary debt and debt service reduction operations supported by multilateral agencies and governments of creditor countries. The paper considers alternative financial structures for these operations : buy-backs, par and discounted debt exchanges and concessional debt restructurings. The note concludes that for relatively small market based operations, the overall benefits to the country under those alternative structures are likely to be very similar. Tax and regulatory benefits as well as the possibility of creating some degree of seniority for exit bonds, could enhance the benefits obtained through debt exchanges relative to buy-backs. Concessional loan restructurings are the most difficult to evaluate, because the outcome hinges on the determinants of the bargaining strength of each side, as well as on the economics of debt reduction.

Book Description
The impact of voluntary debt reduction on private wealth depends on how agents subjectively value external liabilities and on how much they perceive public debt as future discounted taxes.

Book Description
When lenders participate voluntarily in a buyback of debt claims, both the price paid for repurchased claims and the secondary market price of the remaining debt rise-- so all creditors realize a net benefit. In contrast, the menu approach to debt reduction allows the debtor to reduce its debt at cheaper prices.
