1 Financial Frictions and Credit Spreads Ke Pang Pierre L. Siklos Wilfrid Laurier University 1
2 Modelling Challenges Considerable work underway to incorporate a role for financial frictions the financial crisis highlighted this as a weakness of DSGE models Understood here to represent a cost that gives rise to a spreadbetween borrowing and lending rates. A wedge exists (i.e., due to asymmetric information) between borrowers and savers, and there are intermediation costs financial institutions must absorb 2

5 Modelling Challenges The canonical model (Woodford2003) has been seen as not ideally suited to handling to capital market imperfections In general, the weaknesses of the New Keynesian paradigm are well-known (Goodhart2008, Tovar 2008, Chari et.al. 2009) But...its either the best we have or it may be more fruitful to repair it rather than discard it completely Provides a disciplined way of thinking about interactions of key macroeconomic variables 5
6 Focus of the Study Spreads play a central role in the transmissions mechanism Bernanke and Gertler(1989, 1995) The economy is interest sensitive, that is, there exists a credit channel May operate through balance sheets or bank lending behaviour We don t take a stand on one versus the other although focus is on the latter in this study Walsh (2009)...factors that generate movements in spreads, or the degree to which these movements reflect inefficient fluctuations that call for policy responses still eludes us In particular why are spreads subject to sharp movementsand why can they be so volatile? Do they really matter (in a crisis): NO Chari. et.al. 2008); YES (Cohen-Cole e.al.2008) 6
7 Overview of the Approach of the Paper Credit frictions model of Curdia& Woodford(2009, 2009a) is starting point NOTE: has changed in its various incarnations The model is adapted to the concerns of this study, namely attempting to replicate movements and volatility in spreads Agents are heterogeneous, intermediation is inefficient or costly Actual U.S. time series are used for exogenous factors (e.g., TFP shocks, government spending) We try to replicate movements in selected spreads We explore the impact of two types of monetary policies QUANTITATIVE EASING: varying the amount of aggregate reserves to influence the spread between the fed funds rate and the interest rate on reserves (liabilities of the Fed s balance sheet) CREDIT EASING: debt-financed fiscal policy (asset composition of the Fed s balance sheet) 7
8 MODEL: Households I 2 types of households bmore impatient than s b borrows, s saves Remain the same type form one period to the next with prob. [δ, 1-δ] δ Borrowing is done ONLY via intermediary One period contracts (riskless) + households can insure against various risks Necessary because 1. heterogeneity of households; 2. credit frictions; 3. risk sharing Represents a key source of financial frictions Lifetime utility function t= 0 β t τt( i) τt( i) { U [ ct()] i V [ ht()]} i Household i s(net) wealth A i B i i B i i D i T i d b int t() = [ 1()] + (1 1) [ 1()] t + t + t (1 + t 1) + t () + t() Deposit and borrowing rates (riskless) Budget constraint g B () i = A() i Pc () i + Wh() i + D () i + T () i t t t t t t t t 8

10 MODEL: Financial Intermediaries Perfectly competitive Intermediation costs are non-linear (convex function) Interest rates are given, determine supply of loans to maximize profits Leads to a functional form that describes spread Intermediation costs create a spread & changes, NOT increased risk Technolog[ies] d = b + Φ( b) t t t Spread Real deposit, real credit Equilibri[a] d = b + Φ( b b) t t t b d 1 + i = (1 + ω )(1 + i ) t t t ω = Φ ( b) Benchmark/Modified t t ω = Φ ( b b) t t 10

41 Conclusions A highly level of convexity is needed to match sharp movements and volatility in the spread a less non-linear intermediation costs function would lead to conditions as in the Great Moderation A challenge is to link this type of phenomenon to how intermediation costs are actually determined Credit easing when its a free lunch to the CB can reduce the spread QE is less effective and actually leads to a rise in the spread.
