Fluctuations in Uncertainty, Efficient Borrowing Constraints and Firm Dynamics∗
This paper quantifies the importance of aggregate fluctuations in microeconomic uncertainty for firm dynamics over the business cycle in an economy with endogenously frictional financial markets. To begin, I provide evidence on asymmetric response across age and size groups of firms in the U.S. to the changes in aggregate economic conditions. I argue that age rather than size is a relevant marg...
متن کاملComplex dynamics in an OLG model of neoclassical growth with endogenous retirement age and public pensions
This study analyses the dynamics of a general equilibrium, overlapping-generations (closed) economy with pay-as-you-go public pensions and tax-financed health investments that affect the retirement timewhen old. Life of the typical agent is divided between youth (firth period) and old age (second period). The latter period of life is, in turn, divided betweenwork time and retirement time in a p...
متن کاملOn the importance of borrowing constraints for house price dynamics
We study how a household borrowing constraint the the form of a down payment requirement affects house price dynamics in an OLG model with standard preferences. We find that in certain situations the borrowing constraint shapes house price dynamics substantially. The importance of the constraint depends very much on whether house price changes are driven by interest rate or aggregate income sho...
متن کاملEducation and Borrowing Constraints: An Analysis of Alternative Allocation Systems
This paper compares the allocative properties of markets and exams in an environment in which students di¤er in wealth and ability and schools di¤er in quality. In the presence of borrowing constraints, exams are shown to dominate markets in terms of matching e¢ ciency. Whether aggregate consumption is greater under exams than under markets depends on the power of the exam technology; for a su¢...
متن کاملTax compliance with borrowing constraints
This paper considers a simple dynamic model of tax compliance in which people may face binding borrowing constraints. The model leads to much different conclusions and policy recommendations than static models. In particular, the government cannot generate full compliance by setting the expected value of cheating to be negative. Also, it is possible for the government to set penalties in a way ...
