New EHES working paper
How do financial markets react to the dissolution of a sovereign state? Do dissolutions lead to sovereign defaults? Events in Scotland, Spain and the Ukraine underscore the importance of these questions. In the absence of recent case studies, historical studies can provide insight. A new EHES working paper studies the breakup of the United Kingdom (UK) of Great Britain and Ireland in 1922.![]() |

Compiling daily historical data from the Dublin Stock Exchange, Nathan Foley-Fisher (Federal Reserve Board) and Eoin McLaughlin (Edinburgh) utilise a type of sovereign debt termed ‘Irish land bonds’. Before independence in 1922, all land bonds issued carried a UK government guarantee. After independence, the Irish government guaranteed new land bond issuance. The authors exploit this institutional structure to analyse market participants’ perception of the strength of the UK’s guarantees.
Foley-Fisher and McLaughlin find persistent uncertainty about the value of the British government’s guarantee. This uncertainty lasted until 1932, when the Irish government refused to transfer payments on the land bonds to the British Treasury. The default forced the British government to make good on its guarantees. Demonstrating that the guarantees were sound removed the surrounding uncertainty. As a consequence, the yield spread on the pre-independence land bonds fell significantly.
