Endogenous Firms' ?Exit, Inefficient Banks and Business Cycle Dynamics

Abstract: I consider a NK-DSGE model with endogenous ?firms'? exit and entry together with a monopolistic competitive banking sector, where defaulting ?firms do not repay loans to banks. I show that the exit margin is an important shock transmission channel. It implies: i) an endogenous countercyclical number of fi?rms destruction; ii) an endogenous countercyclical bank markup and spread. The interaction between i) and ii) generates a stronger propagation mechanism with respect to a model with efficient banks. Compared to a model with exogenous exit the model generates a correlation between output and ?firms' ?entry closer to the data.
