Resolving the Debt Crisis of Low-Income Countries
指出当前主权债务重组框架效率低下且缺乏公平性，聚焦低收入国家困境，分析国际制度缺陷并提出改革建议。
insolvent sovereign borrowers has been around a long time, at least since Adam Smith's favorable mention of it in the Wealth of Nations. 1 Kenneth Rogoff and Jeromin Zettelmeyer have recently reviewed the history of the idea, as has Ann Pettifor. 2 The current international framework for workouts of distressed sovereign borrowers is woefully inadequate, lacking both the efficiency and the equity protections that characterize well-designed bankruptcy systems. This paper focuses on one part of the problem, namely, the plight of the world's most highly indebted poor countries, and illustrates the serious problems that have arisen because of the weakness of international institutional arrangements. I conclude with several recommendations for reform.
