This paper investigates how debt market frictions affect real firm behaviors such as capital structures and investments differently based on whether a firm has access to the public debt market, taking debt structure differences into account. To this aim, using the natural experimental approach...

We develop a parsimonious model of bubbles based on the assumption of imprecisely known market depth. In a speculative bubble, traders drive the price above its fundamental value in a dynamic way, driven by rational expectations about future price developments. At a previously unknown date, the...

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...
