Exit Expectations and Debt Crises in Currency Unions

Abstract
Membership in a currency union is not irreversible. Exit expectations may emerge during sovereign debt crises, because exit allows countries to reduce their liabilities through a currency redenomination. As market participants anticipate this possibility, sovereign debt crises intensify. We establish this formally within a small open economy model of changing policy regimes. The model permits explosive dynamics of debt and sovereign yields inside currency unions and allows us to distinguish between exit expectations and those of an outright default. By estimating the model on Greek data, we quantify the contribution of exit expectations to the crisis dynamics during 2009 to 2012.

Abstract
In volume XV of the African Development Perspectives Yearbook, the Research Group on African Development Perspectives investigates the impact of the GFC on economic reform processes in Africa. The analysis is structured in such a way so as to reflect the opportunities and dangers of policy reversals in the face of the GFC. The impact of the crisis on different types and forms of governance in the region is considered. The first question is therefore which macro-economic policy instruments have to be applied in order to overcome the crisis and to continue with sustainable development. The second question is how the GFC has affected Africa's external economic relations and if the path of opening up to the world markets is continued. The third question raised is how the crisis has affected social cohesion, impacted on poverty alleviation strategies and the achievement of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). All these questions are discussed in the various contributions which comprise general studies and country case studies. The authors also looked into the role of international financial institutions during and after the crisis. The volume XV of the African Development Perspectives Yearbook is structured into three Units. Unit 1 addresses general issues regarding the impact of the GFC on reform processes in Africa. Unit 2 presents case studies from countries and sub-regions. Unit 3 presents reviews and book notes of current literature focusing on issues of African development perspectives.

Abstract
Seit dem Jahr 2009 enthält das deutsche Grundgesetz eine neue Schuldenregel („Schuldenbremse“), nach der die Länder ab dem Jahr 2020 strukturell ausgeglichene Haushalte vorweisen müssen. Die Einhaltung der Schuldenbremse wird für Bund und Länder vom Stabilitätsrat überwacht. Um zu beurteilen, ob der Haushalt strukturell ausgeglichen ist, wird der öffentliche Finanzierungssaldo um konjunkturelle Einflüsse bereinigt. Dazu wird eine Konjunkturkomponente identifiziert, welche die konjunkturbedingten Mehr- oder Mindereinnahmen und -ausgaben ausweist. Die Differenz zwischen tatsächlichem Finanzierungssaldo und Konjunkturkomponente ergibt den für die Schuldenbremse maßgeblichen strukturellen Finanzierungssaldo.
