Credit Constraints and the Persistence of Unemployment

Dromel, Nicolas; Kolakez, Elie; Lehmann, Etienne - HAL - 2009

In this paper, we argue that credit market imperfections impact not only the level of unemployment, but also its persistence. For this purpose, we first develop a theoretical model based on the equilibrium matching framework of Mortensen and Pissarides (1999) and Pissarides (2000) where we...

Incomplete markets, liquidation risk and the term structure of interest rates

Challe, Edouard; Grand, François Le; Ragot, Xavier - HAL - 2007

We construct a general equilibrium model with incomplete markets and borrowing constraints, in order to study the term structure of real interest rates. Agents are subject to both aggregate and idiosyncratic income shocks, which latter may force them into early portfolio liquidation whilst in...
