We present an elementary analysis of the dynamical aspects of the GDP / government surplus multiplier with relevance to the assessment of a country's debt repayment policy. We show the (at first) counter intuitive result that in order to reduce the Debt/GDP ratio, countries with high Debt to GDP should go into further …

Public debt is one of the important economic variables that quantitatively describes a nation's economy. Because bankruptcy is a risk faced even by institutions as large as governments (e.g. Iceland), national debt should be strictly controlled with respect to national wealth. Also, the problem of eliminating extreme p…

The aim of the present article is to treat the Greek public debt issue strictly as a curve fitting problem. Thus, based on Eurostat data and using the Mathematica technical computing software, an exponential function that best fits the data is determined modelling how the Greek public debt expands with time. Exploring …

Parastatistic distribution of a total debt owed to a large number of creditors considered in relation to the duration of these debts. The process of debt calculation depends on the fractal dimension of economic system in which this process takes place. Two actual variants of these dimensions are investigated. Critical …

The paper examines how CoCo bonds can enhance financial stability in interconnected banking systems.

problem Enhancing financial stability in interconnected banking systems.
method Financial network model with contingent convertible (CoCo) debt obligations.
result Replacing unsecured interbank debt with CoCo debt decreases systemic risk and increases bank shareholder value.

In this letter, I consider the issue of pricing risky debt by following Merton's approach. I generalize Merton's results to the case where the interest rate is modeled by the CIR term structure. Exact closed forms are provided for the risky debt's price.

JFR-rg model explains Japan's stable debt despite high interest rates and low growth.

problem Understanding Japan's stable government debt despite high interest rates and low growth.
method Formalizes financial repression channels through JFR-rg model, incorporating financial repression bias and exchange-rate channel.
result Identifies Normalization Trap and Captive Financial System Parameter, showing debt dynamics under financial repression.

The paper addresses dynamic capital structure models with defaultable debt, proving existence and uniqueness.

problem Dynamic capital structure models with an investor break-even condition may not generate a contraction mapping.
method Provided an example and used a dual problem and change of measure to prove existence and uniqueness.
result A unique Markov-perfect equilibrium exists where firm decisions reflect state-dependent targets.

Debt swaps improve financial networks by optimizing clearing payments and stability.

problem Improving financial network stability and efficiency through debt swaps.
method Analyzing computational complexity of debt swaps, focusing on semi-positive swaps and v-improving swaps.
result Polynomial length of sequences of semi-positive v-improving swaps for ranking-based clearing, but NP-hard for arbitrary v-improving swaps.

The study examines how climate risk influences sovereign debt default decisions.

problem The relationship between climate risk and sovereign debt default decisions.
method Calibration of a model to analyze the credit spreads of sovereign bonds and the impact of climate vulnerability on bond spreads.
result Climate risk does not significantly influence the decision to default on sovereign debt.

We consider here a Fokker--Planck equation with variable coefficient of diffusion which appears in the modeling of the wealth distribution in a multi-agent society. At difference with previous studies, to describe a society in which agents can have debts, we allow the wealth variable to be negative. It is shown that, e…

The paper analyzes bank decisions in a three-step model, focusing on equity and debt raising.

problem Bank decision-making in a three-time-step model with equity and debt raising.
method Theoretical analysis of raising new equity and debt, considering capital requirements and equity holders constraints.
result Raising equity and debt can increase or decrease return on equity, depending on specific cases.

We deal with the problem of outsourcing the debt for a big investment, according two situations: either the firm outsources both the investment (and the associated debt) and the exploitation to a private consortium, or the firm supports the debt and the investment but outsources the exploitation. We prove the existence…

The paper develops a model for sovereign debt dynamics with explicit maturity structure.

problem Analyzing the sustainability and risk of long-term sovereign debt issuance.
method Discrete-time model with explicit maturity structure, deterministic and stochastic extensions.
result The model identifies conditions for ergodic convergence and derives analytical formulas for key metrics.

During the last two years, Europe has been facing a debt crisis, and Greece has been at its center. In response to the crisis, drastic actions have been taken, including the halving of Greek debt. Policy makers acted because interest rates for sovereign debt increased dramatically. High interest rates imply that defaul…

I sketch a program for a microeconomic theory of the main component of the business cycle as a recurring disequilibrium, driven by incompleteness of the financial market and by information asymmetries between borrowers and lenders. This proposal seeks to incorporate five distinct but connected processes that have been …

The definition of deposit substitutes in Philippine tax law fails to consider the maturity of a debt instrument. This makes it possible for long-term bonds to be considered as deposit substitutes if they meet the 20-lender rule, taxable at 20% final tax. However, long-term debt instruments cannot realistically function…

The paper analyzes debt recycling strategies for mortgage repayment, revealing complex phases of success and failure.

problem Evaluating the effectiveness of debt recycling strategies compared to standard mortgage repayment.
method Developed a dynamical model to study the time evolution of equity and mortgage balance under various conditions.
result The model identifies four phases: strongly successful, weakly successful, default, and permanent re-mortgaging, with sensitivity to initial conditions.

This work explores the characteristics of financial contagion in networks whose links distributions approaches a power law, using a model that defines banks balance sheets from information of network connectivity. By varying the parameters for the creation of the network, several interbank networks are built, in which …

problem Understanding debt recycling dynamics and their impact on repayment times and equity growth.
method Developed a calibrated model incorporating mortgage interest rates, borrowing costs, and tax shields.
result Introducing positive interest rates without tax shields contracts success regions and lengthens repayment times, but tax shields partially reverse these effects.
