Bond Restructuring and Moral Hazard : Are Collective Action Clauses Costly? /

Many official groups have endorsed the wider use by emerging market borrowers of contract clauses which allow for a qualified majority of bondholders to restructure repayment terms in the event of financial distress. Some have argued that such clauses will be associated with moral hazard and increas...

By implication, the perceived benefits from easier restructuring are at least as large as any costs from increased moral hazard.
