We develop a model that shows that the Eurocurrency market risk premium is comprised of two components: sovereign risk and credit risk. On the basis of our model, we construct hypotheses that explain the differences in risk both within and across Eurocurrency trading centers. We use daily LIBOR, SIBOR, and TIBOR benchmark rates for several Eurocurrencies to empirically test the hypotheses. Our inter-market test results indicate a strong positive relationship between pairs of risk premia. Differences in inter-market risk premia are explained by differences in: sovereign risk between host countries, and Eurobank credit quality. Our intra-market tests show a weak positive relationship between pairs of risk premia. Differences in intra-market risk premia are explained by differences in: sov...

The legal regimes of offshore jurisdictions have historically differed in significant ways from those applicable in onshore jurisdictions. Inevitably, legal and financial professionals have seized upon these differences to develop strategies for reducing transactions costs. A prominent example of such cross-border arbitrage was the routing of Eurodollar loans through a small group of former Dutch island colonies in the Caribbean, a practice which peaked in the mid-1980s, when virtually every major U.S. corporation made interest payments to a Netherlands Antilles finance subsidiary. The "Antilles sandwich" strategy exploited the difference between high U.S. withholding tax rates that applied to interest payments made to most foreign lenders, and the zero rate of tax that applied to U.S. ...
