Policies for Improving Sovereign Debt Restructurings
Recent sovereign default restructurings during the COVID-19 pandemic have reignited interest in research and policy suggestions for improving these restructuring episodes.

We develop and calibrate a model that allows us to analyze the effects of the proposed policies.
