Abstract

Sovereign debt crises generally involve debt restructurings characterized by debt maturity extensions, delayed payments, face-value haircuts, and temporary financial autarky. We develop a novel quantitative model of endogenous sovereign debt maturity choice and restructuring that rationalizes the debt dynamics observed around distressed debt restructurings. The use of dynamic discrete choice solution methods allows us to smooth the borrower's decision rules on default and debt portfolio choices, rendering the problem tractable.
