Tax 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 ...
متن کاملAnatomy of Corporate Borrowing Constraints∗
A common perspective in macro-finance analyses links firms’ borrowing constraints to the liquidation value of physical assets firms pledge as collateral. We empirically investigate borrowing by non-financial firms in the US. We find that 20% of corporate debt by value is collateralized by specific physical assets (“asset-based lending” in creditor parlance), while 80% is based predominantly on ...
متن کاملIdiosyncratic Production Risk, Growth and the Business Cycle
We introduce a neoclassical growth economy with idiosyncratic production risk and incomplete markets. The general equilibrium is characterized in closed form. Uninsurable production shocks introduce a risk premium on private equity and typically result in a lower steady-state level of capital than under complete markets. In the presence of such risks, the anticipation of low investment and high...
متن کاملOptimal risk sharing and borrowing constraints in a continuous-time model with limited commitment
We study a continuous-time version of the optimal risk-sharing problem with one-sided commitment. In the optimal contract, the agent’s consumption is a time-invariant, strictly increasing function of a single state variable: the maximal level of the agent’s income realized to date. We characterize this function in terms of the agent’s outside option value function and the discounted amount of t...
متن کاملOptimal Consumption/Investment Policies with Undiversi able Income Risk and Borrowing Constraints
We examine the optimal consumption and portfolio choice of an investor having an initial wealth endowment and an uncertain stream of income from non-traded assets. The income stream is not spanned by traded assets, and the investor is not allowed to borrow against future income, so the nancial market is incomplete. We solve the corresponding stochastic control problem numerically with the Marko...
