Sovereign Default: A failure on the repayment of a county's government debts. Countries are often hesitant to default on their debts, since it will be difficult and expensive to borrow funds after According to the theory of fiscal insurance stipulated by Uribe (2006), under certain monetary and fiscal policy regimes, the sovereign risk default is inevitable. In fact, some of the monetary

Higher debt requires higher taxes (or lower spending on public goods) to pay the interest. But if all government debt is owned domestically, there is no negative income effect in aggregate (but future generations are worse off if debt rises). However if taxes are distortionary, this has negative incentive effects. Introduction We study theoretically and quantitatively the links and cyclical behavior of fiscal variables, sovereign interest rate spreads and default risk in emerging market economies. In most middle and low income economies, fiscal policy follows a procyclical behavior. Age-related spending in many developed countries will further raise government indebtedness in the coming decades. It is, therefore, important to understand the interaction between sovereign default risk and fiscal policy and, furthermore, to discuss what kind of fiscal policies can contain the default risk. Higher debt–to–GNI increases the default probability, and hence the sovereign risk. This variable is predicted to be positively associated with the spread. Other control variables include the ratio of foreign exchange reserves to GDP, the inflation rate, the output gap, default history, and the regional spread index.

"Fiscal Policy and Interest Rates: The Role of Sovereign Default Risk," NBER International Seminar on Macroeconomics, University of Chicago Press, vol. 7(1), pages 7-30. References listed on IDEAS as Emerging market economies typically exhibit a procyclical fiscal policy: public expenditures rise (fall) in economic expansions (recessions), whereas tax rates rise (fall) in bad (good) times. Additionally, the business cycle of these economies is characterized by countercyclical default risk. If the central bank targets the risk-free rate, on the other hand, the central bank keeps its inflation target unchanged even as sovereign default risk surges. As a result, output endures most of the macroeconomic cost of fiscal adjustment in response to high debt. For the case when default risk is not a concern, it uses an arbitrage-free term structure model to estimate the dynamic effects of fiscal policy shocks on interest rates along the entire maturity Sovereign debt is issued by a national government in a foreign currency in order to finance the issuing country's growth and development. Default is the failure to repay a debt including interest or principal on a loan or security. Default can have consequences for borrowers.
