Overview: This paper examines equilibrium price relationships and price discovery between credit default swap (CDS), bond, and equity markets for emerging market sovereign issuers. The findings suggest that CDS and bond spreads converge despite various pressures that arise in the market. In most countries, however, the paper does not find any equilibrium price relationship between the bond and CDS markets and the equity markets. As for price discovery, the results are mixed. This stands in contrast to the empirical findings on corporate issuers in the United States and Europe.
