The BoC-BoE sovereign default database revisited : what’s new in 2018? / by David Beers and Jamshid Mavalwalla.: FB3-5/2018-30E-PDF

"Responding to the fragmented public information available on sovereign defaults, the Bank of Canada’s Credit Rating Assessment Group (CRAG) launched a unique database in 2014, now updated annually in partnership with the Bank of England. It provides estimates of government debt in default, including obligations owed to official and private creditors, valued in US dollars for the 1960–2017 period, by country and debt type and aggregated globally. This data set and our related commentary on historical trends, which are updated annually, give researchers a more comprehensive picture than previously available to support their analysis of the economic and financial effects of individual defaults and, importantly, of the impact on global financial stability of defaults by multiple sovereigns"--Non-technical summary.
