Great stuff as always, Professor. Question: If a country is headed towards default, isn't the risk on the companies in that country going up as well? (E.g. risk of higher taxation, higher borrowing costs because country-wide demand for debt has gone up, ...). Therefore, wouldn't it make sense to use that higher discount rate when valuing companies? You say the opposite: remove the default risk from that discounting rate. Would love to hear why my thinking is wrong.

Or is your thinking to account for that increased risk in the equity risk premium?
