Sovereign Risk in Europe and Euro Currency: Still a Challenging Opportunity for the Euro Area Development

Empirical analysis of the present situation to provide a better understanding of the problem and support possible solutions, as well as the various types of political and economic instruments to adopt, represent key topics for submissions.

Included topics:

• Sovereign bond market
• Sovereign risk contagion in the Euro zone
• ECB securities markets program
• Liquidity and credit risk premia
• ECB intervention
• Sovereign Credit Default Swap comovements in Europe
• Price-based indicators£
• Developments in the rate-exchange of Euro
• Euro in capital flows
