Global bifurcations, credit rationing and recurrent hyperinflations

چکیده
This paper proposes an alternative explanation to recurrent hyperinflations other than bounded rationality by explicitly considering the global dynamics of an economy with credit market frictions. In this paper we show that hyperinflations are self-generated and are manifestations of the underlying global dynamic properties of an economy with perfect foresight rational agents that face credit rationing. Moreover, we find that economies that are more credit constrained are more likely to experience recurrent hyperinflations. r 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. JEL classification: E44; E32

Credit and equity rationing in markets with adverse selection
Previous theories of "nancial market rationing focussed on a single market, either the credit or the equity market. An interesting question is whether credit and equity rationing are mutually compatible, and how they interact. We consider a model with twodimensional asymmetric information, where entrepreneurs have private information about both the expected returns and the risk of their project...
متن کاملRelationships and Rationing in Consumer Loans: Evidence from the Nineties
Using a national survey data where the event of individual households being refused loans (credit rationed) by financial institutions -as well as the specific loans for which they were turned down -is observed directly, this study investigates both the role of relationships on credit rationing in the nineties and the differential role of relationships across credit rationing in various consumer...
متن کاملEndowments and credit market performance: An econometric exploration of non-price rationing mechanisms in rural credit markets in Peru
This paper provides an empirical examination of the frequency and determinants of two forms of non-price rationing in rural credit markets in northern Peru. Quantity rationing is the conventional form of non-price rationing whereby a household with positive demand for credit is denied access. Risk rationing, in contrast, occurs when a household voluntarily withdraws from the credit market for f...
متن کاملCredit rationing with symmetric information
Without denying the importance of asymmetric information, this article purports the view that credit rationing may also originate from a lender’s inability to classify loan applications into proper risk categories. Although particularly prominent when novel technologies or novel institutional arrangements arise, lack of appropriate categories may affect any request of money lending, making cred...
متن کاملDevelopment Dynamics in an Economy with Credit Rationing and Occupational Choice
The paper presents a general equilibrium model of a developing economy, in which the wealth distribution, the interest rate and the wage are endogenous and interact dynamically. A credit market imperfection due to limited enforcement results in credit rationing and occupational choice constraints, leading to inefficiency. Credit rationing is shown to persist as the economy develops. We also arg...
