The Aggregate-Demand Doom Loop: Precautionary Motives and the Welfare Costs of Sovereign Risk

TL;DR: In this article, a model of sovereign debt that rationalizes large contractions in economic activity via an aggregate demand amplification mechanism is proposed, which sheds new light on the response of consumption to sovereign risk, which they document in the context of the Eurozone crisis.

Business Cycles in Emerging Economies:The Role of Interest Rates

TL;DR: In this paper, the empirical relation between the interest rates that emerging economies face in international capital markets and their business cycles was investigated, showing that interest rate shocks alone can explain 50% of output fluctuations and can generate business cycle patterns consistent with the regularities described above and with the major booms and recessions in Argentina in the last two decades.
