Credit Cycles Redux

Working Papers from Rice University, Department of Economics

Abstract: Theoretical studies have shown that under unorthodox assumptions on preference and production technologies, collateral constraints can act as a powerful amplification and propagation mechanism of exogenous shocks. We investigate whether or not this result holds under more standard assumptions. We find that collateral constraints generate a typically small output amplification. Large amplification is a "knife-edge" type of result.
