Motivation

Sovereign defaults are somewhat frequent in developing countries. Defaults are commonly thought as discrete events: country either repays or defaults on all its debt.

(As if they filed for bankruptcy like people.)

But defaults are very heterogeneous events.

▶ Some defaults have costly and lengthy resolutions. ▶ Others defaults are minor with fast resolutions. Arellano, Mateos-Planas, Rios-Rull () Partial Default Macro · · · Borders 2 / 1

Existing Theory

Quantitative models of sovereign default have countries either repaying or defaulting in full.

(Aguiar and Gopinath 2006, Arellano 2008).

With countries restructuring all of its debt after default.

(Yue 2010, Benjamin and Wright 2009, D’Erasmo 2012).

Default as state contingent assets does not sit well with the evidence that default is costly.

(Trade costs, Rose 2002; financial crises, Reinhart and Rogoff 2010; lawsuits and sanctions, Hatchondo & Martinez 2013).

The theory is Non-Markovian. It requires coordination among existing and prospective lenders.

This paper

We document the properties across heterogeneous sovereign defaults.

. .

1

Sovereign defaults are partial. . .

2

During defaults sovereigns continue to receive foreign credit. . .

3

Larger defaults in downturns.

We develop a Markovian model of partial default.

▶ The model promising for explaining the heterogeneity across defaults. ▶ The environment requires output loses when debt is in arrears, and

partial recovery of those debts.

Defaults in the Data

Panel data for 99 developing countries from 1970-2010. Public debt data from World Development Indicators: debt in arrears and new loans. Default events from Standard & Poor and Trebesch and Cruces (2012). Partial Default= Debt in Arrears Debt Service + Debt in Arrears Debt in Arrears= Interest and principals due this period but in arrears.

THEORY

Arellano, Mateos-Planas, Rios-Rull () Partial Default Macro · · · Borders 15 / 1

slide-16
SLIDE 16

Ingredients of our theory

Limited, but not inexistent, legal system in the world allows for sovereign default. However,

▶ Creditors of defaulted debt create some havoc. Costs increasing in the

level of defaulted debt.

▶ Defaulted Debt does not disappear, it remains in the balance sheet

until repayment (like Venezuela 2005) or renegotiated (with a wide range of haircuts- 0-100%). Today a constant fraction of debt in arrears survives.

Inability of lenders to coordinate to exclude further future lending (free entry in lending markets (Krueger and Uhlig (06)). Markov Equilibria (when non multiple equilibria in the static counterpart, it is the

limit of equilibria in finite horizon economies).

Model

Dynamic model of borrowing and default

Small open economy with stochastic endowment z which is Markov with transition Γz,z′. The small open economy trades bonds with international lenders (often, but not always, borrows, hence borrower) and can default on them. Cost of defaulting reduces next period output and is increasing with the level of defaulted debt. Lenders are risk neutral.

Borrower

Trades perpetuity bonds that decay at rate δ. Has coupons A, defaults on D, borrows B. c = y − (A − D) + q(z, A′, D) B D ≤ A Total coupon obligations tomorrow. A′ = δ A + B + ( ¯ R − δ ) D D remains as future obligations annuitized at rate ¯ R. D > 0 has direct costs on endowment with y ′ = z′ψ(D). Price functions q(z, A′, D) describe access to credit.

Take as given policy functions and discount at world’s interest rate r. Value to a claim of one unit. H(z, A, y) = ( 1 − D(z, A, y) A ) Today Tomorrow + 1 1 + r ( δ + ( ¯ R − δ)D(z, A, y) A ) E{H(z′, A′, y ′)|z}. A′ and y ′ are determined by borrower’s functions.

Bond Price and Equilibrium

Zero profit condition determines price functions q(z, A′, D) = 1 1 + r E{H(z′ψ(D), A′, z′)|z}. Compensates for expected loss in default. Partial defaults give price of debt a long-term component. Markov equilibrium is the obvious thing. The small country maximizes given prices and the free entry condition given the expected return of loans.

Default as Expensive Debt

Transfer future resources towards present with B or D. Let w = y − A denote cash in hand. Standard consumption-savings trade-off:

▶ Increase in consumption with B or D

c − w = q(A′, D, z)B + D

▶ By reduction in cash on hand tomorrow

w′ = z′ψ(D) − A′ with A′ = B − ¯ RD, D < A

B is restricted by q(A′, D, z). D is restricted by A and carries additional cost through ψ(D).

Conclusion

Sovereign default is partial and countries continue to borrow during defaults. Propose new (Markovian) theory consistent with these facts . Continuing work: .

▶ Take model to data. Move a bit out of examples. ▶ Model as laboratory for recovering costs of default.

Link it with partial individual default (Herkenhoff and Ohanian (13)).
