“…The works by Bunda et al (2009), Özatay et al (2009), Comelli (2012, Piljak (2013), Riedel et al (2013), Cifarelli and Paladino (2014), Csontó (2014), and Zinna (2014) are some examples of the broad literature that analyses sovereign bond spreads on emerging economics. Some of the variables included in these authors' analysis are the relative role of global financial conditions and domestic fundamentals (Bunda et al, 2009;Banerji et al, 2014;Cifarelli and Paladino, 2014;Özatay et al, 2009;Zinna 2014); the time-varying nature of spreads determinants in crises periods compared to non-crisis times (Comelli, 2012;Csontó, 2014); or the relevance of variables reflecting uncertainty, confidence conditions and perceptions for the upcoming economic activity (Piljak, 2013;Riedel et al, 2013) in explaining sovereign spreads behaviour.…”
