Abstract

The interrelation between currency and debt crises is considered in a model relying on option pricing theory. By capturing uncertainty and time aspects in this stochastic and dynamic framework we analyze parameters that determine the probabilities and dependencies of these crises.

Keywords: Financial crisis, Sovereign risk, Option pricing theory, Crisis probability
