Statistical Decision Functions with Judgment
Manganelli, Simone - 2021

Forbearance vs Foreclosure in a General Equilibrium Model
Barbaro, Bianca; Tirelli, Patrizio - 2021
We build a business cycle model characterized by endogenous firms dynamics, where banks may prefer debt renegotiation, i.e. non-performing exposures, to outright borrowers default. We find that debt renegotiations only do not have adverse effects in the event of financial crisis episodes, but a...
