Books by Mark Aguiar
“It’s really at the frontier of research on the topic of sovereign debt. Think of this as a textbook aimed at advanced graduate students—that’s the audience that the authors have in mind, I think. It’s not a book to read before going to sleep unless you are very smart, but it’s very valuable.

If you want to have an idea of what the research that people publishing in top journals are currently writing on issues of sovereign debt, this is a good book. It contains a nice overview of the questions researchers are asking, interesting facts researchers are trying to understand, and the explanations they’ve come up with.” Read more...
