As has been pointed out by Reinhart and Rogoff (2013), even after the global financial crisis of 2007–10, the common view within policy circles is that developed countries economies are “completely different animals from their emerging market counterparts”. The reason is because advanced economies can implement countercyclical policy measures more easily. While this observation clearly involves the ex post phase of a crisis, when the objective is stabilisation, one might pose a similar question regarding the ex ante phase of the crisis: prevention. This phase is also important in order to take the right measures to mitigate a financial crisis.
Existing literature on the determinants of debt crises in emerging markets is abundant, and mainly focused on solvency and liquidity risk dimensions, and the willingness to pay the debt. Statistical evidence about the forecasting ability of some leading indicators produced a list of factors that help predict impending debt crises (see, for example, Savona and Vezzoli, 2013, and the references herein).
