We present a theory in which the key driver of short-term debt issued by the financial sector is the portfolio demand for safe and liquid assets by the nonfinancial sector. This demand drives a premium on safe and liquid assets that the financial sector exploits by owning risky and illiquid...

Using an agent-based model (ABM) with fundamentalists and chartists, prone to develop bubbles and crashes, we demonstrate the usefulness of direct market intervention by a policy maker, documenting strong performance in preventing bubbles and drawdowns and augmenting significantly the welfare of...

The use of dictionaries in financial sentiment analysis and other financial and economic applications remains widespread because keyword-based methods appear more transparent and explainable than more advanced techniques commonly used in computer science. However, this paper demonstrates the...

We integrate bank and bond financing into a two-sector neoclassical growth model to examine the stabilization effect of … endogenous bank leverage adjustment. We show that although bank leverage amplifies shocks, the increase of leverage to a decline … in bank equity is an automatic stabilizer in downturns, since it partially offsets the decline of bank lending to …
