Sovereign to Corporate Risk Spillovers

Abstract: The first Greek bailout on April 11, 2010 triggered a significant reevaluation of sovereign credit risk across Europe. We exploit this event to examine the transmission of sovereign to corporate credit risk. A 10% increase in sovereign credit risk raises corporate credit risk on average by 1.1% after the bailout. The evidence is suggestive of risk spillovers from sovereign to corporate credit risk through a financial and a fiscal channel, as the effects are more pronounced for firms that are bank or government… Show more

“…A government's distress may be felt by its nonfinancial corporations, as any financial pain at the level of the sovereign may be passed on through a hike in corporate tax rates, reduced investments in public infrastructure, or lower subsidies, which could harm long-term growth. Augustin et al (2015a) exploit the first Greek bailout on April 11, 2010, which was a shock to the sovereign credit risk of all European countries, to document a sovereign-to-corporate risk transfer. Public ownership, financial dependence, and the sovereign ceiling are channels that appear to increase the interdependence between sovereign and corporate credit risk.…”

“…One channel is through risk transmission from foreign to domestic banks, for example due to cross-border exposures and financial contagion (e.g., Degryse et al (2010), Tressel (2010)). Similarly, contagion can cause risk transmission across sovereigns, and was arguably present during the most severe phases of the euro area sovereign debt crisis (e.g., Lucas et al (2014), Benzoni et al (2015), Kallestrup et al (2016), or Augustin et al (2018)). Such cross-border bank-to-bank and sovereign-to-sovereign risk transmission can worsen the domestic doom loop.…”

“…One feature of the literature is the overwhelming emphasis on the transmission of risks between banks and sovereigns. 2 Augustin et al (2018) and Bedendo and Colla (2015) are exceptions. Nevertheless, in common with our study and the literature more generally, there is also a preference to relying on CDS spreads (e.g., Acharya et al, 2014;Bedendo & Colla, 2015;Betz et al, 2016;Breckenfelder & Schwaab, 2018).…”
