Abstract

Financial guarantees, such as insurance against credit risk and contract default, serve an important function for virtually every player in the global economy - households, businesses, and governments. Without such guarantees, both implicit and explicit, many economic activities would be less efficiently performed. This paper develops a framework for analyzing the efficient management of such guarantees in both the private and public sectors.
