Abstract
En 中文
We propose a debt view to explain the dominant international role of the dollar. Within a simple capital-structure model with debt-currency choice, we show that the dominant currency is the one that (1) depreciates in global downturns over horizons of typical debt maturity and (2) has the steepest nominal yield curve. Empirically, we show the dollar fits this description better than other major currencies. The debt view can explain dollar-debt issuance patterns over the past two decades. It also offers insights into the future of the dominance of the dollar in the aftermath of the COVID-19 crisis.(c) 2021 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
