Costly Financial Intermediation and Relative Consumption Volatility
This paper proposes a model that emphasizes housing market interactions and nancial intermediation costs to explain relative consumption volatility di¤erences between developed and emerging countries. The model improves upon existing dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models by incorporating a non-trivial nancial sector and by letting both households and rms face borrowing constra...
متن کاملFinancial Integration and Consumption Smoothing
We present a new empirical strategy for testing if financial integration improves risk sharing opportunities and consumption smoothing. Our test is based on a decomposition of the variance of consumption growth into a component that depends on the variance of permanent income shocks and one that depends on the variance of transitory shocks. We then test if the process of financial market integr...
متن کاملLimited Financial Market Participation: a Transaction Cost-based Explanation
This paper focuses on the issue of limited financial market participation and determines a lower bound on the level of fixed transaction costs that are required to reconcile observed portfolio choices with asset returns within an isoelastic utility framework. The bound is determined from the set of conditions that ensure the optimality of consumption behavior by financial market non-participant...
متن کاملFinancial Intermediation Chains in an OTC Market∗
More and more layers of intermediaries arise in modern financial markets. What determines this chain of intermediation? What are the consequences? We analyze these questions in a stylized search model with an endogenous intermediary sector and intermediation chains. We show that the chain length and the price dispersion among inter-dealer trades are decreasing in search cost, search speed, and ...
متن کاملLimited Enforcement, Financial Intermediation and Economic Development: A Quantitative Assessment∗
We present a model of economic development where the importance of financial differences caused by limited enforcement can be measured. Economies where enforcement is poor direct less capital to the production sector, and employ less efficient technologies. Calibrated simulations reveal that the resulting effect on output is large. Furthermore, the model correctly predicts that the average scal...
