We study a dynamic model of collateralized lending under adverse selection in which the quality of collateral assets is endogenously determined by hidden effort. Complementarities in incentives lead to non-ergodic dynamics: Asset quality and output grow when asset quality is high, but stagnate...

One of the most robust stylized facts in macroeconomics is the forecasting power of the term spread for future real activity. The economic rationale for this forecasting power usually appeals to expectations of future interest rates, which affect the slope of the term structure. In this paper,...

I develop a framework of the buildup and outbreak of financial crises in an asymmetric information setting. In equilibrium, two distinct economic states arise endogenously: "normal times", periods of modest investment, and "booms", periods of expansionary investment. Normal times occur when the...

We estimate a workhorse dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model with an occasionally binding borrowing constraint. First, we propose a new specification of the occasionally binding constraint, where the transition between the unconstrained and constrained states is a stochastic...

an equal outflow of retail and nonfinancial wholesale deposits from both ex-post failing and surviving banks. This … implies that regular depositors are unable to identify failing banks. In contrast, the interbank market precisely identifies … which banks will fail: the interbank market collapses for failing banks entirely but continues to function for surviving …

We examine liquidity creation per unit of assets by banks subject to the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) using the … asset pair with different LCR weights, and the differential implementation of LCR by the very large and less-large LCR banks …. We find that, since 2013, there has been reduced liquidity creation by LCR banks compared to non-LCR banks, occurring …
