• Real-financial Linkages through Loan Default and Bank Capital

  Staff Working Paper 2013-3 Tamon Takamura

  Many studies in macroeconomics argue that financial frictions do not amplify the impacts of real shocks. This finding is based on models without endogenous default on loans and bank capital. Using a model featuring endogenous interactions between firm default and bank capital, this paper revisits the propagation mechanisms of real and financial shocks.
