Cohen, Daniel and Verdier, Thierry (1995) 'Secret' buy-backs of LDC debt Journal of International Economics, 39, (3-4), pp. 317-334. (doi:10.1016/0022-1996(95)01372-9).
Abstract
We analyze the buy-back of its debt by an LDC. Contrary to previous analyses of this subject, we assume that the debtor can hide its transactions behind the veil of a fictitious operator: the banks, we assume, cannot discriminate intra-bank transactions from buy-backs by the debtor itself. With this assumption, the lenders set the price by (rationally) taking account of the country's incentive to repurchase its debt. Will the debtor undertake a buy-back of its debt? The answer is a qualified yes. Large buy-backs will take place.
