The adjustment costs are ac KE;t KE ac EE;t EE (K E;t K E;t ) K E (L E;t L E;t ) Note that symmetrically to the household problem entrepreneurs are subject to an investment shock, can adjust the capital utilization rate, and pay a quadratic capital adjustment cost. The depreciation rate is governed by KE;t KE + b KE 0:5 0 EzKE;t + 0 E zke;t + 0:5 0 E where setting b KE + KE implies a unitary steady state utilization rate.

10 3. Derivation of Demand and Supply Curves in Figure 5 In this framework, one can plot and analyze demand and supply curves very easily. Let the adjustment costs functions and derivatives be written in this form t LE (L t L t ) L E t d t dl t LE L (L t L t ) 0 (L t L t ) esides, assume that adjustment costs are external, so that the expectation of future adjustment costs does not show up in the Euler equation. Using this functional form, the parameter LE ends up measuring the semielasticity of loan demand to the interest rates (up to rst order, as will be shown below). To be more precise, when quarterly interest rates rise by 5 basis points say (annual rates go up by 00 basis points), loan demand falls in percentage terms by 0:5 LE : A LE 0:5 implies for instance a drop in loan demand by percent following a % rise in interest rates. 3.. Entrepreneurs: Loan demand To save on notation, I let L E;t be L t in what follows. Loan demand is the schedule described by equation.0. Taking into account adjustment costs, the loan demand equation is implicitly de ned by the following equation, where L t and R t+ are loan demand and loan rate, and everything else is a shifter. LE L (L t L t ) E;t C E E;t E (R E;t+ E;t+ ) C E E;t+ (l_d) When a shock hits that a ects all variables, one can trace how loan demand reacts but plotting all combinations of L and R such that the equation above holds. I just linearize this equation around the steady state to make it more transparent. After linearization, this equation becomes: L t L t 0 ( E;t E ) LE E ( E ) 0 LE (C E;t C E;t+ ) 0 LE E R E E E (R E;t+ R E E ( E;t+ E )) (l_d_linearized) where a variable without time subscript denotes the steady state value. Using this equation, one can note that, when E is zero, for small values of E and R E close to one, we have that hence 4 LE dl t L dr t+ LE is the semielasticity of loan demand to changes in the annualized interest rate. 3.. anks: Loan Supply Loan supply is given by equation L (L t L t ) ( E ( D ) + D ) ;t C ;t RE;t+ t+ D ;t+ C ;t+ (l_s) After we rearrange, denoting with E ( D ) + D ; we have L t L t + 0 ( t )+ ( ) L 0 L C (C t C t+ )+ 0 (R t+ R E L R E D D ( ;t+ )) (l_s_linearized) For small D ; (4 L ) is the elasticity of loan supply to changes in the interest rate. 0
11 3.3. ouseholds: Deposits Supply Deposit supply is the linearized version of equation.. Starting from u C;t D;t R u C;t+ t t+ (d_s) we can rewrite this as log u C;t + log D;t log + log R t + log u t bu C;t + bdt Dt b R b t + bu C;t+ bd t Dt b brt + bu C;t+ bu C;t Therefore this simpli es to (in levels) D t D t D SS Rt R SS + u C;t+ u C;t R SS u C;SS (d_s_linearized) 3.4. anks: Deposit Demand Deposit demand is given by equation.4 0 D (D t D t ) ;t C ;t R;t t+ D ;t+ C ;t+ (d_d) After linearization, this equation becomes D t D t 0 ( ;t ) D ( ) 0 D C (C ;t C ;t+ ) 0 D R D (R ;t R D ( ;t+ )) (d_d_linearized) 3.5. Entrepreneurs: Capital Supply Capital supply is given by equation.: + 0 KE (K E;t K E;t ) ( E ) m K E;t C E E;t E ( KE;t+ + R K;t+ ) C E E;t+ (k_s) After we arrange, letting E (( E ) m K ) + 0 KE K E;t K E;t + E 0 ( E;t E ) + E ( E E ) KE 0 KE C (C E;t C E;t+ ) E E E R KE + KE (R KE;t+ R KE ( KE;t+ KE )) (k_s_linearized) If adding LTV shocks, K E;t K E;t Since + E ( 0 E;t E ) + E E m K (m KE 0 K;t m K ) + ::: KE R K;t b KE 0 Ez KE;t + 0 E zke;t KE;t KE + b KE 0:5 0 z KE;t + 0 z KE;t + 0:5 0
12 It makes sense to express capital supply as a function of which depends on R: To do so note that t b KE (z t z) R K;t R b KE + 0 (z t z) t + 0 (R K;t R) ( ) (R K;t R) which highlights how makes capital supply more or less elastic Firms: Capital Demand Capital demand is the remarkably linearized version of equation.3 (using the formula for Y t given by the production function) that this page is too small to contain.
