Financial Markets and Firm Dynamics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent studies have shown that the dynamics of firms (growth, job reallocation and exit) are negatively correlated with the initial size of the firm and its age. In this paper we analyze whether financial factors, in addition to technological differences, are important in generating these dynamics. We introduce financial market frictions in a basic model of industry dynamics with persistent shocks to technology and show how the combination of persistent shocks and financial frictions can account for the simultaneous dependence of firm dynamics on size (once we control for age) and on age (once we control for size). In contrast, models with only persistent shocks or financial frictions are unable to account simultaneously for the (conditional) size and age dependence. (JEL D21, G3, L2)

متن کاملBank lending and firm dynamics in general equilibrium
This paper investigates the impact of a change in aggregate credit supply on firm dynamics in an economy with financial frictions. We model a lifetime lending relationship between banks and firms in a general equilibrium framework with households making endogenous occupational decision. Financial markets are endogenously incomplete due to asymmetric information, and financial constraints emerge...
متن کاملThe Dynamics of Interacting Markets: First Results
The behavior of boundedly rational agents in two interacting markets is investigated. A discrete-time model of coupled financial and consumer markets is described. The integrated model is then used to investigate feedback effects between the coupled markets. In particular, the influence of the financial market on product development is demonstrated. The types of traders present in the financial...
متن کاملComplex Dynamics and Financial Fragility in an Agent Based Model
In this paper, we model an agent-based economy in which heterogeneous agents (firms and a bank) interact in the financial markets. The heterogeneity is due to the balance sheet conditions and to size. In our simulations, at the aggregate level, output displays changes in trend and volatility giving rise to complex dynamics. The average solvency and liquidity ratios peak during recessions as emp...
