  • Financial Stress and Economic Dynamics: The Transmission of Crises
  • The recent financial crisis and the associated decline in economic activity have raised some important questions about the links between economic activity and the financial sector. This paper introduces an index of financial stress--an index that was used in real time by the staff of the Federal Reserve Board to monitor the crisis--and shows how stress interacts with real activity, inflation and monetary policy. We examine the implications of financial stress for the real economy, the implications of shocks to the real economy for financial stress, the role of monetary policy and what constitutes a useful and credible measure of stress in this context. We address these questions using a richly parameterized multivariate Markov-switching VAR model estimated using Bayesian methods. We clearly reject the constant parameter model; a corollary is that inference about policy during periods of high financial stress base on a single-regime model is suspect. We find that the negative output effects of a financial stress shock are much more pronounced and long-lasting in times of high financial stress than in normal times. We also find that monetary policy has reacted differently in times of financial stress than otherwise.

  • On the Network Topology of Variance Decompositions: Measuring the Connectedness of Financial Firms
  • We propose several connectedness measures built from pieces of variance decompositions, and we argue that they provide natural and insightful measures of connectedness among financial asset returns and volatilities. We also show that variance decompositions define weighted, directed networks, so that our connectedness measures are intimately related to measures of network topology. Building on these insights, we track daily time-varying connectedness of major U.S. financial institutions’ stock return volatilities in recent years, including during the financial crisis of 2007-2008. We stress implications of connectedness measurement for risk management and portfolio allocation.

  • Despite methodological critiques, macroeconomic research often relies on vector autoregressions (VARs) identified with long-run restrictions to uncover empirical regularities. In large part, the critiques argue the method goes awry due to lag truncation. Reduced form models with short lag lengths provide poor approximations to DSGE models. Yet short lag lengths are deemed a necessity as increased parametrization would lead to prohibitively large uncertainty. We show that the trivial solution to the critique, i.e. dramatically increasing lag length, actually works. Truncation is a form of misspecification. In the face of misspecification, increasing lag length may in fact reduce uncertainty. As a result, VARs with lag lengths of, say, ten years can lead to unbiased and precise inference when identified with long-run restrictions. We document this tradeoff between bias reduction, degrees of freedom reduction and its resulting increase in uncertainty, and misspecification. For standard DSGE models, such as Chari, Kehoe and McGrattan's (2008) RBC model, reducing truncation leads to unbiased and more precise inference. We then reassess existing VAR-evidence on the technology-hours debate, which suffers from truncation bias. Controlling for truncation, two striking conclusions emerge. First, the consensus view that technology shocks have a limited role for hours fluctuations is solely due to truncation. Controlling for truncation bias, we find that technology shocks do matter for hours fluctuations. Across US manufacturing sectors, the contribution of technology shocks to hours fluctuations varies from 0 to 100% at a one-year horizon. At longer horizons, around half the variation of sectoral hours is due to technology shocks. Second, our evidence suggests there is no cause for controversy regarding the hours response. Across sectors, there is ample heterogeneity with about as many sectors exhibiting positive responses as there are sectors that reduce hours following technological improvement. This suggests there is scope for both New-Keynesian and Real Business Cycle explanations of fluctuations.

  • Determinants and Consequences of Mortgage Default
  • We study a unique data set of borrower-level credit information from TransUnion, one of the three major credit bureaus, which is linked to a database containing detailed information on the borrowers’ mortgages. We find that the updated credit score is an important predictor of mortgage default in addition to the credit score at origination. However, the 6-month change in the credit score also predicts default: A positive change in the credit score significantly reduces the probability of delinquency or foreclosure. Next, we analyze the consequences of default on a borrower’s credit score. The credit score drops on average 51 points when a borrower becomes 30-days delinquent on his mortgage, but the effect is much more muted for transitions to more severe delinquency states and even for foreclosure.

  • Contract Indexation and Agency Costs
  • This paper addresses the positive and normative implications of indexing risky debt to observable aggregate conditions. These issues are pursued within the context of the celebrated financial accelerator model of Bernanke, Gertler and Gilchrist (1999). The principle conclusions are that the optimal degree of indexation is significant, and that the business cycle properties of the model are altered under this level of indexation.

  • Credit Shocks and Aggregate Fluctuations in an Economy with Production Heterogeneity
  • We study the cyclical implications of credit market imperfections in a dynamic, stochastic general equilibrium model wherein firms face persistent shocks to both aggregate and individual productivity. In our model economy, optimal capital reallocation is distorted by two frictions. First, collateralized borrowing constraints limit the investment undertaken by small firms with relatively high productivities. Second, specificity in firm-level capital implies partial investment irreversibilities that lead firms to pursue generalized (S,s) investment rules. This second friction compounds the first in implying that large and relatively unproductive firms carry a disproportionate share of the aggregate capital stock, thereby reducing endogenous aggregate total factor productivity. Moreover, because irreversibilities induce both downward and upward inertia in firm-level capital adjustment, they ensure that the negative consequences of a temporary tightening in financial markets are not quickly repaired. In the presence of persistent heterogeneity in both capital and total factor productivity, the effects of a financial shock can be amplified and propagated through large and long-lived disruptions to the distribution of capital that, in turn, imply large and persistent reductions in aggregate total factor productivity. Similarly, the consequences of a negative real shock can be exacerbated and prolonged in the presence of real and financial frictions. This paper seeks to measure the strength of these effects in a calibrated DSGE setting. We find that an unanticipated tightening in borrowing conditions can, on its own, generate a large recession that is far more persistent than the financial shock itself, and the recovery that follows is led by rises in business fixed investment, rather than in household consumption spending.

  • Debt Overhang and Credit Risk in a Business Cycle Model
  • We study the macroeconomic implications of the debt overhang distortion. The probability that a firm will default acts like a tax that discourages its current investment. This is because the marginal return of the firm’s investment will be seized by its creditors in the event of default, so the higher the firm’s probability of default, the lower its expected marginal return of investment. The dynamics of this distortion, which moves counter-cyclically, amplify and propagate the effects of productivity, volatility, wealth redistribution and government spending shocks. Both the size and the persistence of these effects are quantitatively important, and the fiscal multiplier is large and hump-shaped. The model replicates important features of the joint dynamics of macro variables and credit risk variables, like default rates, recovery rates and credit spreads.

  • Firm Risk and Leverage-Based Business Cycles
  • I exploit evidence on cyclical fluctuations in the cross-sectional dispersion of firm-level productivity to quantify how much volatility in borrowers’ leverage ratios can be explained by “second-moment shocks.“ In a standard financial accelerator model, second-moment shocks lead to fluctuations in leverage an order of magnitude larger than due to standard “first-moment” TFP shocks. This result represents substantial improvement over baseline analyses of accelerator models, though it is still five times lower than the volatility of borrowers” (firms’) leverage ratios I document using Compustat data. In terms of macroeconomic aggregate quantities, pure dispersion shocks account for a small share of GDP fluctuations in the model, less than five percent. Depending on whether or not second-moment fluctuations are independent from or intertwined with shocks to the mean level of productivity, the model also performs well in explaining either (but not both) the observed acyclicality of borrowers’ leverage or the observed countercyclicality of firm-level dispersion. Overall, the mechanism the model articulates is conceptually clear and seems quantitatively promising.
