La tesi si compone di tre monografie che propongono indicatori benchmark-free di Rischio di Credito per alcuni stati membri dell’Unione Monetaria Europea. La costruzione dei tre indicatori è stata sviluppata utilizzando le quotazioni giornaliere di titoli Sovereign, nello specifico floating-rate bonds e fixed-rate bonds, con l’ausilio di strutture a termine dei tassi d’interesse da utilizzare come risk-free benchmarks. L’obiettivo della tesi è quello di proporre tre misure alternative di Credit Risk che non abbiano il limite di indicatori come lo Spread BTP-Bund, una misura di rischio che sottintende un seppur piccolo Rischio Default di un'altro Stato. I trend degli indicatori benchmark-free e dello Spread con i Bund Tedeschi sono stati studiati mediante analisi di correlazione ed econometriche durante le recenti crisi finanziarie globali (2008 e 2010-2012) verificando differenti comportamenti da parte degli indicatori costruiti e dai quali sono emersi cambiamenti sostanziali del merito creditizio degli stati dell'UME.

Abstract

The thesis consists of three monographs offering benchmark-free indicators of credit risk for some member states of the European Monetary Union. The construction of the three indicators has been developed using the daily quotes of Sovereign bonds, specifically floating-rate bonds and fixed-rate bonds, with the use of the term structure for interest rates to be used as risk-free benchmarks. The aim of the thesis is to propose three alternative measures of credit risk that have not the limit of indicators such as the BTP-Bund spread, a risk measure that implies an albeit small Default Risk of another State. The trend of the benchmark-free indicators and the spread with German Bunds were studied by correlation and econometric analyses during the recent global financial crises (2008 and 2010-2012), checking different behaviors by theindicators constructed and from which emerge substantial changes in the creditworthiness of the states of the EMU.
