Mortgage Loan-Flow Networks and Financial Norms∗
We develop a theoretical model of a network of intermediaries, which gives rise to heterogeneous financial norms and systemic vulnerabilities. The optimal behavior of each intermediary regarding its attitude toward risk, the quality of the projects that it undertakes, and the intermediaries it chooses to interact with, is affected by the behavior of its counterparties. These strategic network e...
متن کاملMortgage insurance premiums and business cycle
This research first refines the pricing formula for mortgage insurance (MI) contracts proposed in Bardhan, Karapandža, and Urošević (2006) based on a modified contract whose setting is closer to reality. Since housing prices are usually observed to be cyclic in the mean growth rate and volatility due to economic fluctuations, our research further extends this modified MI pricing formula by taki...
