Implications of Housing Frictions for the Term Premium

This study examines the impact of credit constraints on the term premium in a production economy. To do so, we incorporate the Kiyotaki-Moore collateral constraint and Epstein-Zin-Weil preferences into a medium-scale New Keynesian Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (NK DSGE) model with nominal rigidity. Our findings are twofold. First, credit constraint, a key ingredient of the financial accelerator channel, has significant effects on the term premium. Second, the loan-to-value ratio has asymmetric effects on the term premium
