Abstract

The interrelation between currency and debt crises is considered in a model which relies on option pricing theory. This enables us to quantify the probability of financial crises and to study the importance of certain parameters for the occurrence of these crises.

Keywords: financial crisis, sovereign risk, option pricing theory, crisis probability
