The study focuses on the identification of the Europeans public debt determinants. For this analysis, we have taken 12 Europeans countries during the 2000 - 2014 period. In order to estimate our model, we used the correlated panels corrected standard errors model. The results confirms the persistence of dependant variable i.e. debt-to-GDP ratio. We also found a positive impact of bank nonperforming loans, military expenditures and imports and a negative influence of GDP growth and bank liquid reserves.
