Abstract

The euro area sovereign crisis has progressively affected more and more countries. Is this a manifestation of financial contagion, or are sovereign bond prices consistent with domestic fundamentals, which are correlated across countries? This article summarises results from recent ECB research which attempts to answer these questions. JEL Classification: E0
