Abstract
Credit default swaps (CDSs) continue to be controversial, with concern that trades in them drive prices
of government debt down.
Evidence from the CDS spread for one country—Ireland—indicates that its CDS spread has been
reacting to news about developments in Ireland, Greece, and the European Union.
This examination of Ireland’s CDS spreads is consistent with the proposition that the spreads reflect
fundamental developments, not mindless speculation.
