It combines quantitative and qualitative analysis to examine cases ranging from the United States in the 1830s/40s (when half of the states then in the Union defaulted) to the squeeze following the 2001 Argentinian default. It warns against a simplistic view of 'what works'. Editor(s): Hood, Christopher; Heald, David; Himaz, Rozanna. Series: Proceedings of the British Academy. Num Pages: 296 pages, figures and Tables.
