Abstract
The aim of this paper is to examine the impact of large fluctuations in global commodity prices on the dynamics of sovereign risk for 18 emerging economies using a conditional quantile dependence approach and weekly data covering the period March 27, 2009–April 25, 2022. The results show the following: commodity prices and sovereign risk move in opposite directions. The impact of global commodity prices on sovereign risk differ across countries. Commodity price fluctuations have asymmetric effects on sovereign risk; for some emerging countries, large upward commodity price fluctuations reduce sovereign risk, whereas large downward commodity price movements have a limited impact. These results have potential implications for investors and policy makers regarding sovereign risk management decisions and the cost of funding of investment projects.
