Sovereign credit ratings in the European Union: a model-based fiscal analysis

Prednášajúci: Vito Polito (University of Bath)

Miesto a čas konania:  kongresová sála NBS; 11:00 – 13:00 hod.

Abstract:
The paper presents a model-based measure of sovereign credit ratings derived solely from the fiscal position of a country: a forecast of its future debt liabilities, and its potential to use fiscal policy to repay these. This measure is used to calculate credit ratings for fourteen European countries over the period 1995-2012. It identifies a European sovereign debt crisis almost two years before the official ratings of the credit rating agencies.
