You can now preorder my book (it’ll probably be out November) which is sadly quite topical - it’s a history of war reparations and how they’re paid. cambridge.org/dk/universityp…

That's why Hjalmar Schacht kept shmoozing with Montagu Norman of the Bank of England after 1933, meaning the British were able to secure a slightly less unfavourable outcome than the rest of Germany's creditors.
How much does it cost a state to default on its sovereign debt? Quite a bit of ink and computing power has been used to answer the question and its related cousin (“why do countries repay their debt?”)
Here is our attempt, fresh off the presses in the World Bank Economic Review.
For my investor friends: All else equal, if you’re offered gdp-warrants in a restructuring - get more the fewer intermediate imports a country has. Perhaps it should also be reflected in spreads.

My book is now out in paperback! It means you don’t have to break the bank to learn the history of war reparations, how they were financed in the past — and maybe learn a few lessons for the future.
