1 A QUANTITATIVE THEORY OF UNSECURED CONSUMER CREDIT WITH RISK OF DEFAULT (in pills) SATYAJIT CHATTERJEE, DEAN CORBAE, MAKOTO NAKAJIMA and (uncle) JOSE -VICTOR RIOS-RULL Presenter: Alessandro Peri University of Carlos III, Madrid Reading Group, Feb 19, / 21

2 Introduction A Quantitative Theory of Unsecured Consumer Credit with Risk of Default Facts 1 Large Amount of: 1 Unsecured Consumer Credit 2 Unsecured Loans Default 2 Consumers can default on their loan (Chapter 7) 3 Post-bankruptcy: difficult get access to credit (10 years) 4 Bankrupt consumers are in poor financial shape 2 / 21

3 Introduction A Quantitative Theory of Unsecured Consumer Credit with Risk of Default Contribution: Macro Model Household Bankruptcy How: 1 Precautionary Saving Model + Heterogenous Agent Imrohoroglu (1989), Huggett (1993), Aiyagari (1994) 2 + Default Option 2 / 21

4 Introduction A Quantitative Theory of Unsecured Consumer Credit with Risk of Default Contribution: Macro Model Household Bankruptcy Theoretical Results: 1 Existence of a General Equilibrium 2 Default Interval (in terms of earning thresholds) 3 Legal micro foundation of Endogenous Borrowing Constraint 2 / 21

5 Introduction A Quantitative Theory of Unsecured Consumer Credit with Risk of Default 1 Account for: Earning, Wealth, Indebtedness Facts How: Shocks = Reasons why people file for Bankruptcy 1 Earning S.: job-loss 1 Preference S. : marital disruption 1 Liability S.: Med.

6 Introduction A Quantitative Theory of Unsecured Consumer Credit with Risk of Default 1 Account for: Earning, Wealth, Indebtedness Facts How: Shocks = Reasons why people file for Bankruptcy 1 Earning S.: job-loss 1 Preference S. : marital disruption 1 Liability S.: Med. Expenses To have Def. in Eq.!!!! 2 Policy Analysis 2 / 21

7 The Model Model Features Heterogeneous - Stochastic General Equilibrium Model (H-SGE) Idiosyncratic shock, No Aggregate shock Default option / Endogenous Borrowing Constraint Markets: 1 Loan (Competitive, price schedules) 2 Medical Services (Competitive) 3 Output 4 Labour (Supplied Inelastically) 3 / 21

8 The Model Uncertainty 1 Household Characteristics: s = (ξ, η, ζ), Γ(s, ds ) ξ: Socioeconomic Status (persistent) ξ 1 : Super Rich ξ 2 : White Collar ξ 3 : Blue Collar η: Marital Disruption (quasi i.i.d) ζ: Liability Shock (i.i.d) 2 Labour Efficiency: e, Φ(e s) = Φ(e ξ) 4 / 21
