Abstract:
In this paper, we examine the Contingent Claims Approach (CCA) to analyzing sovereign risk. Specifically, we extend the study by Gray et al. (2007), and apply the Merton Modeling framework to three major emerging markets; Brazil, Mexico, and Turkey over the period 2001 to 2007. We point out the shortcomings of the CCA and suggest some remedies in calibrating to real-life risk measures. We also assess the problem from a risk management point of view and perform a historical simulation exercise to determine the Value-at-Risk.
