Default and devaluation risks in Argentina: long-run and exogeneity in different systems

This study analyses the effect of devaluation risk on the default risk of Argentina, a critical question for the “dollarization debate”. The integrated nature of both series is taken into account to analyse the long run relationship and to evaluate “weak exogeneity” using a “cointegrating vector” sy...
