Significance Impacts Despite a dramatic deterioration in Greece's relations with its creditors, financial markets have remained relatively unconcerned. The sharp sell-off in government bond markets since mid-April stems almost entirely from exaggerated fears about deflation, not Greece. Tensions over Greece reflect broader weaknesses in the euro-area stemming from a lack of support for political and fiscal union.

AbstractThis paper employs event study methods to evaluate the effects of ECB’s non-standard monetary policy program announcements on 10-year government bond yields of 11 euro area member states. Measurable effects of announcements arise with a one-day delay meaning that government bond markets take some time to react to ECB announcements. The country-specific extent of yield reduction seems inversely related to the solvency rating of the corresponding countries. The spread between core and periphery countries reduces because of a stronger decrease in the latter. This result is confirmed by letting the announcement variable interact with the current spread level.
