Agents can produce fraudulent assets at a positive cost, which generates an endogenous upper bound on the quantity of assets that can be exchanged for goods and services. This endogenous liquidity constraint depends on the characteristic...
متن کاملLiquidity Constraints and Cycles
In this paper, we modify the model of Benhabib and Laroque in which the behaviour of non steady-state equilibria in the neighborhood of the golden rule steady state are studied, to include liquidity constraints. We observe, in an example, the appearance of new cycles.
متن کاملLiquidity Constraints and Precautionary Saving
Economists working with numerical solutions to the optimal consumption/saving problem under uncertainty have long known that there are quantitatively important interactions between liquidity constraints and precautionary saving behavior. This paper provides the analytical basis for those interactions. First, we explain why the introduction of a liquidity constraint increases the precautionary s...
