5 Amplification & Persistence Bernanke & Gertler (1989), Carlstrom & Fuerst (1997) Perfect (technological) liquidity, but persistence Bad shocks erode net worth, cut back on investments, leading to low productivity & low net worth of in the next period 5

6 Amplification & Persistence Bernanke & Gertler (1989), Carlstrom & Fuerst (1997) Perfect (technological) liquidity, but persistence Bad shocks erode net worth, cut back on investments, leading to low productivity & low net worth of in the next period Kiyotaki & Moore (1997), BGG (1999) Technological/market illiquidity KM: Leverage bounded by margins; BGG: Verification cost (CSV) Stronger amplification effects through prices (low net worth reduces leveraged institutions demand for assets, lowering prices and further depressing net worth) 6

7 Amplification & Persistence Bernanke & Gertler (1989), Carlstrom & Fuerst (1997) Perfect (technological) liquidity, but persistence Bad shocks erode net worth, cut back on investments, leading to low productivity & low net worth of in the next period Kiyotaki & Moore (1997), BGG (1999) Technological/market illiquidity KM: Leverage bounded by margins; BGG: Verification cost (CSV) Stronger amplification effects through prices (low net worth reduces leveraged institutions demand for assets, lowering prices and further depressing net worth) once and for all shock no volatility dynamics 7

8 Impulse response vs. Volatility dynamics once and for all shock = no uncertainty about length of slump Sequence of adverse shock 8

9 Why continuous time modeling? Characterization for volatility and amplification Discrete: only impulse response functions Only for shocks starting at the steady state Only expected path fan charts help somewhat More analytical steps Return equations Next instant returns are essentially log normal (easy to take expectations) Explicit net worth and state variable dynamics Continuous: Discrete: only slope of price function determines amplification need whole price function (as jump size can vary) Numerically simple solve differential equations Discrete: IES/RA within period =, across periods 1/γ 9

10 Cts. time: special features of diffusions Continuous path fast enough deleveraging Never jumps over a specific point, e.g. insolvency point Implicit assumption: can react to small price changes Can continuously delever as wealth goes down Makes them more bold ex-ante 10

11 Recent macro literature (in cts time) Core BrunSan (2014), Basak & Cuoco (1998) He & Krishnamurthy (2012,13), DiTella (2013), Isohätälä et al. (2014) Intermediation/shadow banking Phelan (2014), Adrian & Boyarchenko (2012,13), Huang (2014), Moreira & Savov (2014), Klimenko & Rochet (2015) Quantification He & Krishnamurthy (2014), Mittnik & Semmler (2013) International BruSan (2015), Maggiori (2013) Monetary The I Theory of Money (2012), Drechsler et al. (2014). 11

12 Financial frictions Costly state verification (BGG) Leverage constraints Exogenous limit (Bewley/Ayagari) Collateral constraints Next period s price (KM) state 2 Rb t q t+1 k t Next periods volatility Current price Incomplete markets Endogenous leverage (VaR) state 1 Debt limit can depend on prices/volatility 12

13 Roadmap Why continuous time? Literature Simple model With undesirable features Add portfolio choice with general utility function Full model With all desired features Add equity issuance 13

14 A simple model Basak & Cuoco (1998) Experts Output: y t = ak t Households No output: a = 0 Consumption rate: c t Investment rate: ι t dk t = Φ ι k t δ dt+σdz t t Consumption rate: c t E 0 [ 0 e ρt log c t dt] E 0 [ 0 e ρt log c t dt] Can only issue risk-free debt 14

15 Equilibrium An equilibrium consists of functions that for each history of macro shocks {Z s, s 0, t } specify q t the price of capital k t, k t = 0 capital holdings c t 0, c t = 0 consumption of representative expert and households ι t,ι t = 0 rate of internal investment, per unit of capital r the risk-free rate such that intermediaries and households maximize their utility, taking prices q t as given and markets for capital and consumption goods clear 15

16 Equilibrium Equilibrium is a map Histories of shocks {Z s, s t} prices, allocations q t, ψ t, ι t, ι, c t, c t wealth distribution η t = N t q t K t 0,1 experts wealth share Experts, HH solve optimal investment, portfolio, consumption Markets clear 16

17 Solution steps 1. Postulate endogenous processes dq t /q t = μ t q dt + σ t q dz t Returns from holding capital 2. Equilibrium conditions Agents optimization Internal investment (new capital formation) Optimal portfolio choice Optimal consumption Market clearing conditions 3. Law of motion of state variable wealth (share) distribution η t 4. Express in ODEs of state variable 17

18 1. Postulate endogenous process Postulate Recall dq t /q t = μ t q dt + σ t q dz t dk t /k t = Φ ι t δ + σdz t Return on capital dr t k = a ι t q t dividend yield dt + d(k t q t ) k t q t capital gains d(k tq t ) k t q t = Φ ι t δ + μ t q + σσ t q dt + σ + σ t q dz t by Ito s product rule In this simple model it will turn out that q is constant, i.e. μ t q = σ t q = 0. 18

19 2. Equilibrium optimality conditions a. Investment rate (capital formation) Static problem max Φ ι t ι t /q t ι FOC: Φ ι t = 1 (marginal Tobin s q) q t a ι t δ Φ ι t δ b. Consumption choice c t = ρn t due to log utility c. Portfolio choice Volatility of wealth = Sharpe ratio of risky investment 19

20 2. Equilibrium market clearing conditions Goods market price of capital q t = q = ρq t K t = a ι t q t Special case: Φ ι = log(κι+1) κ Risk free rate dr t k = a ι t q t ρ,dividend yield Sharpe ratio: Volatility of net worth: + Φ ι t δ dt+σdz t capital gains Sharpe ratio = volatility of N t K t ι = q 1 κ q = a+1/κ r+1/κ ρ+φ ι δ r t σ q t K t N t σ= σ η t r t = ρ + Φ ι δ σ2 η t 20

21 3. Law of motion of η t dn t N t =r t dt+ σ η t risk d(q tk t ) q t K t =.. σ dt+ σ dz η t η t ρdt t consumption Sharpe Use Ito ratio rule for η t = N t (q t K t ) dη t = 1 η t 2 σ η 2 dt+ 1 η t σdz t t η t 2 21

22 Observations dη t = 1 η t 2 η t η 2 t σ 2 dt+ 1 η t σdz t Wealth share η moves with macro shock dz t In the long run experts save their way out, η 1 Sharpe ratio ρ+φ ι δ r t σ Increases as η goes down, (to as η 0) Achieved through a lower risk free rate q is constant No endogenous risk No amplification No volatility effects 22

23 Generalizing preference: portfolio choice 1. Also postulate process for marginal utility dθ t /θ t = μ θ t dt + σ θ t dz t SDF: e ρs θ t+s /θ t 2.

Consider wealth n t invested in A, so that dn t /n t = dr t n t+s e ρs θ t+s is a martingale θ t For risk free asset Sharpe ratio 0 = μ t θ ρ + r Example 1: u c = log c θ t = 1 c = 1 t ρn t σ t θ = σ t n μ A t r t σa t = σ t θ 25

26 Generalizing preference: portfolio choice 1. Also postulate process for marginal utility dθ t /θ t = μ θ t dt + σ θ t dz t SDF: e ρs θ t+s /θ t 2.

27 Desired model properties Normal regime: stable around steady state Experts are adequately capitalized Experts can absorb macro shock Net worth trap Endogenous risk Fat tails Assets are more correlated SDF vs. cash-flow news Volatility paradox Financial innovation look at stationary distribution less stable economy 27
