Abstract

As a country becomes larger and more diversified, default becomes less likely, leading to lower interest rates and higher borrowing capacity. We show that the larger a country’s share in the supply of safe assets, the lower is its bond liquidity premium. If the dominant country grows less than the rest of the world, its status as a safe haven erodes. Plus un pays est grand et diversifié, plus son risque de défaut est faible, ce qui se traduit par des taux d'intérêt plus bas et une capacité d’emprunt plus élevée. Nous montrons que plus la part d’un pays dans l’offre d’actifs sûrs est importante, moins sa prime de liquidité obligataire est élevée. Si la croissance du pays dominant est inférieure à celle du reste du monde, son statut de valeur refuge s'érode.
