Brunnermeier, Markus Konrad; Sannikov, Yuliy - 2015

This paper develops a dynamic two-country neoclassical stochastic growth model with incomplete markets. Short-term credit flows can be excessive and reverse suddenly. The equilibrium outcome is constrained inefficient due to pecuniary externalities. First, an undercapitalized country borrows too...

Fahn, Matthias; Merlo, Valeria; Wamser, Georg - 2017

This paper shows that the cost of enforcing contracts governing non-financial relationships between firms affects a firm's financing structure. We analyze the interaction between a firm's capital structure and the type of contracts it uses to deal with its suppliers. We first develop a...

Afonso, António - 2010

This study assesses the short and long-run behaviour of long-term sovereign bond yields in OECD countries, for the period 1973-2008.

Manufacturing risk-free government debt

Jiang, Zhengyang; Lustig, Hanno; Nieuwerburgh, Stijn van; … - 2021

Governments face a trade-off between insuring bondholders and taxpayers. If the government fully insures bondholders by manufacturing risk-free zero-beta debt, then it cannot also insure taxpayers against permanent macroeconomic shocks over long horizons. Instead, taxpayers will pay more in...

Market depth, leverage, and speculative bubbles

Enders, Zeno; Hakenes, Hendrik - 2017

We develop a model of rational bubbles based on leverage and the assumption of an imprecisely known maximum market size. In a bubble, traders push the asset price above its fundamental value in a dynamic way, driven by rational expectations about future price developments. At a previously...

A Q-theory of banks

Begenau, Juliane; Bigio, Saki; Majerovitz, Jeremy; … - 2021

We propose a dynamic bank theory with a delayed loss recognition mechanism and a regulatory capital constraint at its core. The estimated model matches four facts about banks' Tobin's Q that summarize bank leverage dynamics. (1) Book and market equity values diverge, especially during crises;...

Credit booms, debt overhang and secular stagnation

Illing, Gerhard; Ono, Yoshiyasu; Schlegl, Matthias - 2017

Why do advanced economies fall into prolonged periods of economic stagnation, particularly in the aftermath of credit booms? We present a model of persistent aggregate demand shortage based on strong liquidity preferences of households, in which we incorporate financial imperfections to study...

Martini, Jan T.; Niemann, Rainer; Simons, Dirk - 2014

The introduction of a common consolidated corporate tax base (CCCTB) and tax allocation via formula apportionment (FA) is hotly debated in the European Union (EU) since more than a decade. While the literature has thoroughly analyzed the economic effects of FA from a macro-level perspective, the...
