Recoveries from recessions associated with a financial crisis tend to be sluggish. In this paper, we present evidence that stressed credit conditions are an important factor constraining the pace of recovery. In particular, using industry-level data, we find that industries relying more on external finance grow more slowly than other industries during recoveries from recessions associated with financial crises. Additional tests, based on establishment size, on alternative definitions of financial crises, and on corporate-government interest rate spreads, support the findings. Moreover, for subsets of industries where financial frictions are more severe, we find much stronger differential growth effects. JEL Classification Numbers: E32, G01

Credit Spreads and the Severity of Financial Crises
We study the behavior of credit spreads and their link to economic growth during financial crises. Our main finding is that the recessions that surround financial crises are longer and deeper than the recessions surrounding non-financial crises. The slow recovery from the 2008 crisis is in keeping with historical experience of recoveries from financial crises. We reach this conclusion by examin...

This paper introduces a new Keynesian model with financial frictions on both the demand and supply side of the credit markets that can explain this empirical finding. Following a shock that leads to a decline in economic activity, an adverse feedbac...
متن کاملWhat Hinders Investment in the Aftermath of Financial Crises: Insolvent
There are two leading views on how financial crises turn into recessions. The first view highlights the importance of a troubled banking sector that cannot provide credit to domestic firms. The second view stresses the relevance of short-term borrowing in foreign currency and the associated decline in net worth through a weak balance sheet. Both views underline the role of financial constraints...
متن کاملA Model of Moral-hazard Credit Cycles
This paper considers a simple model of credit cycles driven by moral hazard in financial intermediation. Financial agents or bankers must earn moral-hazard rents, but the cost of these rents can be efficiently spread over an agent's entire career, by promising large late-career rewards if the agent has a consistently successful record. Dynamic interactions among different generations of financi...
