Fiscal Policy and Default Risk in Emerging Markets

Gabriel Cuadra and Horacio Sapriza

No 2007-03, Working Papers from Banco de México

Abstract: Emerging economies usually experience procyclical public expenditures, tax rates and private consumption, countercyclical default risk, interest rate spreads and current account and higher volatility in consumption than in output. In this article we develop a dynamic stochastic equilibrium model of a small open economy with endogenous fiscal policy, endogenous default risk and country interest rate spreads in an incomplete credit markets framework that rationalizes these empirical findings.
