| Abstract Text | In this thesis I aim to address the role of Sovereign Credit Default Swaps (SCDS) in the European Sovereign Debt Crisis (ESDC). I divide this thesis in two parts. In the first one, I examine the origins of CDS and their main uses. Then I exhibit the market development before and after the global financial crisis which started in 2007. I continue by analyzing the role of CDS in the subprime crisis in the United States (US) and subsequently in the ESDC. In this part I also pay attention to the main directions of scientific work in the field of CDS and SCDS and I conclude by explaining and evaluating the European Union (EU) regulators’ ban on SCDS short selling. |
