Title: The Price of Law: The Case of the Eurozone Collective Action Clauses (Paolo Colla, Mitu Gulati, and Steven Ongena)
Abstract: We analyze the price effect of the introduction of Collective Action Clauses (CACs) in all newly issued sovereign bonds of Eurozone countries as of January 1, 2013. By allowing a majority of creditors to modify payment obligations, such clauses reduce the likelihood of holdouts while facilitating strategic default by the sovereign. Using a unique matching methodology, we find that CAC bonds trade, in the secondary market, at lower yields than otherwise similar no-CAC bonds. Such yield differential widens in countries with worse ratings and in hose with stronger legal systems. The results suggest that Euro CACs are seen as pro-creditor provisions.
