This book was released on 1993-09-01 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper studies the effects that the inability of individuals to borrow against future income has on economic growth. The model assumes that human capital, which is accumulated through education, is the only factor of production. It is shown that liquidity constraints reduce growth. Further, in the presence of externalities that may induce two equilibria, it is shown that liquidity constraints not only reduce the rate of growth in the high-growth equilibrium, but can also make the low-growth equilibrium more likely to occur.

This book was released on 1994-04-01 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper addresses the growth, welfare, and distributional effects of credit markets. We construct a general equilibrium model where human capital is the engine of growth and individuals differ in their education abilities. We argue that the existence of credit markets encourages specialization, by which individuals choose during their youth to work or to receive formal education. This specialization unambiguously increases growth and welfare. The model also shows that in economies with high (low) average level of education abilities, the opening of credit markets induces a more disperse (equal) income distribution.
Download or read book Endogenous Growth and Endogenous Business Cycles in an Overlapping Generations Economy With Credit Market Imperfections written by Takuma Kunieda and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We study the dynamic properties of growth rates in an overlapping generations economy with credit market imperfections, constructing a Schumpeterian growth model. The analysis demonstrates that: (i) two steady-state equilibria arise as is usual in overlapping generations models with outside money and the growth rate of each increases as credit market imperfections are resolved; (ii) if credit market imperfections are severe or soft and if sunspots do not appear, the economy converges monotonically to a stable steady state; and (iii) if credit market imperfections are moderate, deterministic cycles or chaos would arise in equilibrium.
Download or read book The Role of Credit Markets in a Transition Economy with Incomplete Public Information written by Kenneth Kletzer and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1996-02 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper we explore some of the informational problems that constrain the development of credit markets in transition economies. We characterize investment patterns under uncertainty and high costs of entry, when agents learn about the ultimate value of enterprises through production in a Bayesian way. Inefficiencies due to the lack of public information reduce the average return to capital. Under asymmetric information, credit would go to activities that can provide enough co-finance. Credit markets may fail to develop for a while if there is not enough individual wealth to complement credit. Once they operate, credit markets may magnify distortions in equity markets, such as those due to spontaneous privatization. An argument for the sequencing of capital market liberalization is provided.

This book was released on 2000-12 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper studies how financial markets and accumulation of financial assets interact with economic growth, change of industry structure, productivity and distribution of wealth across households. To carry out this study, a dynamic general equilibrium model with imperfections in the credit market is developed.
Download or read book Credit Supply and Productivity Growth written by Francesco Manaresi and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-05-17 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We study the impact of bank credit on firm productivity. We exploit a matched firm-bank database covering all the credit relationships of Italian corporations, together with a natural experiment, to measure idiosyncratic supply-side shocks to credit availability and to estimate a production model augmented with financial frictions. We find that a contraction in credit supply causes a reduction of firm TFP growth and also harms IT-adoption, innovation, exporting, and adoption of superior management practices, while a credit expansion has limited impact. Quantitatively, the credit contraction between 2007 and 2009 accounts for about a quarter of observed the decline in TFP.

This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper uses microeconomic panel data to examine differences in the cyclical variability of employment, hours, and real wages for skilled and unskilled workers. Contrary to conventional wisdom, it finds that, at the aggregate level, skilled and unskilled workers are subject to the same degree of cyclical variation in wages. However, the quality of labor input is found to rise in recessions, inducing a countercyclical bias in aggregate measures of the real wage. The paper also finds substantial differences across industries in the cyclical variation of employment, hours, and wage differentials, indicating important interindustry differences in labor contracting.
Download or read book Hysteresis and Business Cycles written by Ms.Valerie Cerra and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2020-05-29 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, economic growth and business cycles have been treated independently. However, the dependence of GDP levels on its history of shocks, what economists refer to as “hysteresis,” argues for unifying the analysis of growth and cycles. In this paper, we review the recent empirical and theoretical literature that motivate this paradigm shift. The renewed interest in hysteresis has been sparked by the persistence of the Global Financial Crisis and fears of a slow recovery from the Covid-19 crisis. The findings of the recent literature have far-reaching conceptual and policy implications. In recessions, monetary and fiscal policies need to be more active to avoid the permanent scars of a downturn. And in good times, running a high-pressure economy could have permanent positive effects.

Download or read book A Traffic jam Theory of Growth written by Daria Finocchiaro and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A growing empirical literature documents a non-monotonic relationship between finance and growth. We investigate this finding in a Schumpeterian endogenous-growth model with search frictions and congestion effects in credit and innovation markets. Financial development eases the financing of innovation but exacerbates congestion effects in R&D. Conversely, policies that promote R&D aggravate financial bottlenecks. Once general equilibrium feedback effects are taken into account, the interplay between the two congestion frictions generates a non-linear relationship between finance and productivity growth. We show that, for a calibration chosen to mimic the actual US economy, the interplay between credit and innovation frictions results in a negative impact of finance on growth. This impact is however quantitatively small -- consistent with the observation that, in the last century, most developed economies have experienced a widespread expansion of the financial sector yet almost constant, or slowly declining, growth rates of GDP (save for financial crises, pandemics or wars).
