We explore a view of the crisis as a shock to investor sentiment that led to the collapse of a bubble or pyramid scheme in financial markets. We embed this view in a standard model of the financial accelerator and explore its empirical and policy implications. In particular, we show how the...

How do housing bubbles affect other economic sectors? We show that in the presence of collateral constraints, a bubble … initially raises housing credit demand and crowds out credit to non-housing firms. If the bubble lasts, however, housing credit … repayments raise banks' net worth and expand credit supply, so that crowding-out eventually gives way to crowding-in. This is …

Financial frictions affect the way in which different components of GDP respond to a monetary policy shock. We embed the financial accelerator of Bernanke, Gertler and Gilchrist (1999) into a medium-scale Dynamic General Equilibrium model and evaluate the relative importance of financial...

This paper develops a DSGE model where banks use short-term deposits to provide firms with long-term credit. The demand … for long-term credit arises because firms borrow in order to finance their capital stock which they only adjust at …

We incorporate financial linkages in EAGLE, a New Keynesian multi-country dynamic general equilibrium model of the euro area (EA) by including financial frictions and country-specific banking sectors. In this new version of the model, termed EAGLE-FLI (Euro Area and GLobal Economy with Financial...
