Sovereign Debt: A Guide for Economists and Practitioners

Editat de S. Ali Abbas, Alex Pienkowski, Kenneth Rogoff
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 sep 2021
The last time global sovereign debt reached the level seen today was at the end of the Second World War, and this shaped a generation of economic policymaking. International institutions were transformed, country policies were often draconian and distortive, and many crises ensued. By the early 1970s, when debt fell back to pre-war levels, the world was radically different. It is likely that changes of a similar magnitude -for better and for worse - will play out over coming decades. Sovereign Debt: A Guide for Economists and Practitioners is an attempt to build some structure around the issues of sovereign debt to help guide economists, practitioners and policymakers through this complicated, but not intractable, subject.Sovereign Debt brings together some of the world's leading researchers and specialists in sovereign debt to cover a range of sub-disciplines within this vast topic. It explores debt management with debt sustainability; debt reduction policies with crisis prevention policies; and the history with the conjuncture. It is a foundation text for all those interested in sovereign debt, with a particular focus real world examples and issues.

Recenzii

Sovereign debt around the world has reached near-historic levels. Should we worry about it? Anyone interested in this question must have this book on their desk. The book is a brilliant, expansive guide on how to think about sovereign debt in historical and modern contexts.
Most countries have experienced difficulties with the accumulation of high levels of public debt. In many cases, there has been default or restructuring. The maturity as well as the currency composition of public debt have important effects on the economy and its public finance. These are some of the issues discussed in this book, which is a very important contribution for academics and practitioners. The authors succeeded in discussing technically complex issues for a broad audience. Practitioners will learn a number of policy lessons on public debt management and fiscal policy. Academics will learn many stylized facts and policy challenges that should enlighten good research work.
In todays world we witness rising debt levels in many countries, at times coupled with unsustainable lending practices, insufficient transparency and imperfect creditor coordination mechanisms against the backdrop of historically low interest rates. This poses a significant challenge for the international financial community in its effort to preserve global financial stability. This comprehensive and thought provoking book is a most valuable contribution to the much needed knowledge on these topics in these interesting times.
It is rare to find a volume on sovereign debt that is so clearly written, comprehensive, and supremely usable for all those practicing (or interested) in the topic. This is that volumeunique in breadth and written by top scholars and practitioners in a way that is accessible to the non-expert. I recommend it highly.
This is an outstanding book in many ways. Most remarkably, it manages to cover the budgetary, macroeconomic and financial market dimensions of public debt. The combination of historical analysis, discussion of key concepts and policy evaluation offers insights for practitioners and academics alike. Many thanks to all those who contributed to this volume.
