Abstract

In the aftermath of sovereign defaults and financial crises in the 1990s, there have been calls for the widespread use by sovereigns of equity-like financial instruments, in particular, of GDP-indexed bonds. This paper calibrates a general equilibrium model with endogenous default to a typical emerging market economy and evaluates whether the existence of a (partially) GDP-indexed bond, as proposed in the literature, is quantitatively important in what concerns spreads, debt to GDP ratios, and the likelihood of default
