英文摘要 |
This paper defines the sovereign debt crises using two famous databanks, and then tests whether the long-term government bond yields and other macroeconomic variables can be statistically significant in a probit model. The samples include the Euro area, OECD and the emerging economies. The results indicate that the government bond yields are unable to explain the cases of the advanced economies. In addition, the probability of sovereign default in the emerging markets is higher than that in the advanced economies. |
