''Long-run Determinants of Sovereign Yields''
( 2011, Vol. 31 No.1 )
 
 
We study sovereign bond yields in OECD countries with a dynamic panel by checking for cross-section dependence; assessing panel cointegration; and estimating panel error-correction models. The results show that markets consider budgetary and external imbalances and inflation as relevant determinants of sovereign yields.
 
 
Keywords: long-term yields, panel cointegration, bootstrap
JEL: E6 - Macroeconomic Policy, Macroeconomic Aspects of Public Finance, and General
H6 - National Budget, Deficit, and Debt: General
