We provide a proof that Markov Perfect equilibrium is unique in the standard infinitehorizon incomplete-market model with a default option which, following Eaton and Gersovitz (1981), has become a benchmark for quantitative analyses of sovereign debt (Arellano (2008), Aguiar and Gopinath (2006), Aguiar and Amador (2014)).
