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

Introduction Eurace@Unibi Model Simulation Results Summary & Outlook Monetary Policy & Banking Regulation Capital Adequacy Requirement Reserve Requirement
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.
