Country risk premium: theoretical determinants and empirical evidence for latin american countries

Abstract: This paper investigates the behavior of the country risk premium for Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, from June 1997 to September 1998. It shows that the level of country risk premium is determined by different factors: the US dollar bond market structure; restrictions on the acquisition of emerging market bonds imposed by developed nations regulators; the credit risk measured by the notion of implied risk-neutral probability default; the different ways agents react to country risk due to asymmetric and imperfect… Show more

“…They find that a significant impact of the net foreign asset position, lower fiscal deficits and lower ratios of debt service to exports and debt service to GDP help decrease sovereign spreads. Aronovich (1999) uses daily data on sovereign spreads to assess the determinants in the 1997---1998 period for three large Latin American countries. These are the implicit probability of default and the 30-year USTB rate, where the latter is used as a proxy of an exogenous change in global financial conditions.…”

“…Since the estimates for Mexico by Edwards (1986), the subsequent contributions on the "comprehensive" approach are attributed to Aronovich (1999) who included the Argentine, Brazilian and Mexican cases; or Wong (2000) and Jostova (2001) 6 who framed a multi-Latin American country analysis; and Nogues and Grandes (2001), who focused on the Argentine case. This vein of the literature has drawn heavily on secondary-market data.…”

“…This vein of the literature has drawn heavily on secondary-market data. Aronovich (1999) took daily data running from June 1997 to September 1998 for Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, in order to assess the response of sovereign spreads variations to a three first-difference variable set (allowing lagged values): the implicit probability of default (circumventing simultaneity problems), the USTB 30 years rate and the spread between the last and a 6-months maturity USTB (term-structure effect). He found positive current-spreads overreaction in respect to USTB 30 years yields, significant positive default probability coefficients and irrelevant term-structure effects.…”

“…Muitos investidores, em particular os investidores institucionais, preferem títulos classificados em vez de títulos não classificados, em parte como resultado da regulamentação prudencial doméstica. Aronovich (1999) encontrou evidências que títulos de longo prazo de países da América Latina como Argentina, Brasil e México exageraram na reação às mudanças nas taxas de juros dos títulos da dívida dos Estados Unidos. E quanto pior o rating de crédito, maior foi a reação observada.…”

“…Contudo, Aronovich (1999) argumenta que as agências de rating não devem ser o único método utilizado para avaliar o risco soberano pois essas agências podem falhar em seu parecer e não conseguirem antecipar o surgimento de crises. Foi o que ocorreu, por exemplo, na crise do México em 1994 e não conseguiram prever, também, a magnitude da crise asiática em 1997.…”
