Banks’ Financial Structure and Business Cycles
A puzzling fact in macroeconomics is that small and transitory shocks seem to be followed by large and persistent fluctuations in macroeconomic variables. Theoretical models explaining this empirical fact focus on the borrower but most of them neglect to model the bank. This paper proposes a framework in which changes in the financial condition of banks can have persistent aggregate consequence...
متن کاملNews shocks, expectation driven business cycles and financial market frictions
This paper explores the booms and busts induced by news shocks in a model economy with financial market frictions.

We find that (i) existing small-scale VECM models are affected by ‘non-fundamentalness’ and therefore fail to recover the correct shock and impulse response functions; (ii) news shocks have a limited role in explainin...
