The Business & Financial Cycle

1976-80 US real-estate boom 1980 DIMCA 2011: End of Regulation Q 1989: S&L Crisis 1980: Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act: Deregulation of Savings and Loans institutions 2011: Regulation Q: prohibition of interest-bearing demand deposit accounts Sander van der Hoog Bubbles, Crashes & the Financial Cycle

Financial Instability Hypothesis

◮ Equity/Asset-ratio: Measure for financial robustness ◮ Fragility synchronized with business cycle? (Fragile booms, deleveraging

recovery)

Output and E/A ratio

Introduction Eurace@Unibi Model Simulation Results Summary & Outlook Outline The Business & Financial Cycle Financial Instability Hypothesis Balance sheets

Empirical Motivations

Features of macroeconomics with a financial cycle (Borio, 2012):

◮ the financial boom should not just precede the bust but cause it (`

a la Minsky).

◮ the presence of debt and capital stock overhangs (excess stocks,

non-full utilization rates). Findings:

◮ Recessions following a crisis after a fragile boom tend to have much

larger declines in consumption, investment, output, and employment. (Shularick & Taylor, 2012)

◮ Balance sheet recessions: Recessions driven by deleveraging lead to a

prolonged slump. (Koo, 2011)

Literature: The Credit Channel of Monetary Policy Transmission

  • 1. The broad borrowers’ balance sheet channel:

(Bernanke & Blinder 1988)

◮ Credit demand side ◮ Focusses on external finance premium: probability of default

External finance premium: inversely related to borrower’s net worth.

◮ Changes in the value of assets on the balance sheet of a firm affect the

firm’s ability to borrow.

  • 2. The narrow bank lending channel:

(Bernanke & Gertler 1995)

◮ Supply of bank loans determined by financial health of banks. ◮ Changes in the value of assets on the balance sheet of a bank affects the

bank’s ability to lend.

Capital Adequacy Requirement

Introduction Eurace@Unibi Model Simulation Results Summary & Outlook

Summary

Capital Adequacy Requirement (α)

  • 1. More limits on excessive risk-taking
  • 2. Amplitude recessions increases
  • 3. More banks fail
  • 4. More firms go illiquid

◮ constraint does not discriminate ◮ constraint self-reinforcing

  • 5. Steep, sudden deleveraging
  • 6. Concentration in banking sector

Reserve Requirement (β)

  • 1. More limits on liquidity supply
  • 2. Amplitude recessions decreases
  • 3. Banks stay alive
  • 4. Large firms go illiquid

◮ large firms largest credit demand ◮ liq. constraint helps small firms

  • 5. Gradual deleveraging in waves
  • 6. Bank equity can recover
