1 Sticky Leverage João Gomes, Urban Jermann & Lukas Schmid Wharton School and UCLA/Duke September 28, 213
2 Introduction Models of monetary non-neutrality have traditionally emphasized the importance of sticky prices and/or wages This seems perhaps overdone We focus on an alternative channel for monetary non-neutrality Nominal debt that is both long-term and defaultable This is both large and quite costly to adjust (at least the principal) This creates two problems for firms Default risk Debt overhang
3 Preview of Findings Debt deflation is a quantitatively powerful propagation mechanism Sticky or persistent leverage is the key Conventional Taylor rules can stabilize output in response to shocks
4 Related Literature Debt deflation: De Fiore, Teles, and Tristani (211), Kang and Pflueger (212), Christiano, Motto and Rostagno (29), Bhamra, Fisher and Kuehn (211) Debt overhang: Occhino and Pescatori (212), Moyen (27), Hennessy (24), Chen and Manso (21) Default, general equilibrium: Gomes and Schmid (213), Gourio (212), Miao and Wang (21) No quantitative business cycle analysis with defaultable nominal, long-term debt

11 Optimal Leverage FOC for ω pg (i) + p ( ω ω g (i) (1 λ) ω ) µ = g (i) EM Φ ( z ) 1 µ [ (1 τ) c + λ + (1 λ) p ]
12 Sticky Leverage One-period debt, λ = 1 Proposition: p + p ω ω = EM Φ ( z ) [((1 τ) c + 1) 1µ ] Assume µ i.i.d., ξ r =, and no shocks for a long time so that µ t 1 = µ, ω t = ω Then, shock on µ t has no effect on ω t+1 = ω
13 Sticky Leverage Long-term debt, λ < 1 Proposition pg (i) + p ( ω ω g (i) (1 λ) ω ) µ = g (i) EM Φ ( z ) 1 [ ((1 τ) c + λ) p µ (1 λ) ] Assume µ i.i.d., ξ r =, and no shocks for a long time so that µ t 1 = µ, ω t = ω A negative shock on µ t increases ω t+1 > ω. Sticky leverage: high ω/µ high ω
14 Optimal Investment and Debt Overhang FOC for i z 1 pω = EM z (1 τ) (R z ) ((1 τ) c + λ) ω µ +v (ω, µ ) dφ ( z ) Proposition: Assume µ i.i.d., ξ r =, and no shocks for a long time so that µ t 1 = µ, ω t = ω, R t+1 > R Then, shock on µ t has no effect on R (and i) iff ω t+1 = ω However if ω t+1 > ω then R t+1 > R
