Sovereign debt crises in advanced economies exposed, calls for private creditor involvement.
Sovereign debt crises in advanced economies are more likely than previously thought. Current practices for resolving these crises have flaws, such as increasing moral hazard and risking taxpayer money. To improve this, private creditors should have a bigger role in sharing risks and solving debt crises. Two new types of bonds, 'sovereign cocos' and 'GDP-linked bonds', are proposed to help with this.
