Spillover effects of the European sovereign debt crisis on financial markets

Abstract

This work consists in the study of the crisis through macroeconomic data of the 8 Eurozone countries, especially two indicators that have been important since 2008: Indexes and risk premium. To do so has been obtained daily data from 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2015. The study will be based on the difference of two sets of countries: Peripheral vs. Central. For this, we carry out two regressions that are analysed between countries and how the variables are performed. The end of work is to demonstrate that the effects of the crisis have not been the same for all countries and has been a risk of contagion that has been reflected in macroeconomic data from countries in southern Europe.
