How Much of Bank Credit Risk Is Sovereign Risk? Evidence from Europe

Abstract: We examine European banks' exposures to systematic and country‐specific sovereign risk. We organize our investigation around a multifactor affine credit risk model estimated on credit default swap data of different maturities. During the 2008–15 period, about one third of banks' credit risk is sovereign. However, banks strongly differ both in the magnitude and type of their sovereign exposures. Measures of indirect exposures, such as bank size and return on equity, capture these cross‐sectional differences bet… Show more

“…The results indicate that the relationship between GOV, AVA, and inequality is complex and level-dependent. These ndings are also consistent with previous ndings of a negative relationship between GOV and income inequality (e.g., Breen and Gillanders, 2016;Li et al, 2018) and highlight the signi cance of examining GOV as a critical determinant of inequality. At lower levels of GOV, enhancements can reduce income inequality, whereas, at higher levels, improvements can increase income inequality.…”

“…Theoretically, the effects of prudential policy on sovereign bond vulnerability may arise from several sources. First, sovereign risk is highly related to bank risk (Li and Zinna 2018). Macroprudential policies reduce leverage and bank risk, thereby mitigating financial system vulnerabilities (Farhi and Tirole 2012).…”

“…The solution to this, today an acute problem, is possible by automating the overdue debts recovery process (Li and Zinna 2018). Thus, the development of scoring systems provides an opportunity to automate this work through the introduction of collector scoring systems in the practice of commercial banks.…”
