1 Credit and hiring Vincenzo Quadrini University of Southern California, visiting EIEF Qi Sun University of Southern California November 14, 2013
2 CREDIT AND EMPLOYMENT LINKS When credit is tight, employers lack the liquidity for investing and hiring: Credit Channel. When the supply of assets is low, the economy is in shortage of insurance instruments. Employers become more averse to risk and reduce hiring: Asset Channel. When credit is tight, employers face weaker bargaining conditions with workers. Bargaining channel. 1
3 THEORETICAL INTUITION Suppose that there are only two periods. No discounting. Period 1: The firm issues debt b and hires a worker. Period 2: Produces z and splits the net surplus with the worker: Wage = 1 2 (z b), Dividend = 1 2 (z b) The value of hiring a worker in period 1 is: b + 1 (z b) 2 2
4 RELATION TO THE LITERATURE Theoretical and empirical studies have investigated the importance of the bargaining channel for the Financial Structure of firms: Perotti & Spier (1993) Klasa, Maxwell & Ortiz-Molina (2009), Matsa (2010) Fewer studies have investigated the importance of the bargaining channel for the Hiring Decision of firms. 3
5 CREDIT CONDITIONS FINANCIAL STRUCTURE HIRING 4
6 MACRO vs. MICRO ANALYSIS Monacelli, Quadrini & Trigari (2011) Studies the importance of bargaining channel for aggregate dynamics. Representative firm with one worker. Aggregate shocks only. Model estimated using time series aggregate data. Quadrini & Sun (2013) Studies the importance of bargaining channel for firm dynamics. Multi-worker heterogeneous firms. Idiosyncratic shocks only. Model estimated using firm-level data. 5
7 MODEL Continuum of firms with production technology Y t = z t N t z t = idiosyncratic productivity; N t = number of employees Hiring is costly E t = new employees (hiring); Υ ( Et N t ) N t Υ(.) strictly increasing and convex. Employment evolves according to N t+1 = (1 λ t )N t + E t λ t = idiosyncratic separation 6
8 MODEL (continue) Firms issue non-contingent debt subject to the enforcement constraint q t B t+1 ξ t βe t S t+1 q t = price of debt B t+1 = debt issued at t and repaid at t + 1 S t+1 = firm s surplus (defined later) ξ t = idiosyncratic stochastic variable (access to credit) Budget constraint D t = dividends w t = wage B t + D t + w t N t + Υ ( Et N t ) N t = z t N t + q t B t+1 7
9 BARGAINING Equity value: V t (B t, N t ) = D t + βe t V t+1 (B t+1, N t+1 ) Worker value: W t (B t, N t ) = w t + (1 λ t )βe t W t+1 (B t+1, N t+1 ) + λ t βe t U t+1 Net surplus: S t (B t, N t ) = V t (B t, N t ) + (W t (B t, N t ) U t ) N t Optimal policies: max w t,d t,e t,b t+1 [ ( W t (B t, N t ) U t ) N t ] η V t (B t, N t ) 1 η, 8
10 BARGAINING OUTCOME Wages are determined so that workers receive a faction η of the surplus (W t (B t, N t ) U t ) N t = η S t (B t, N t ) V t (B t, N t ) = (1 η) S t (B t, N t ) Remaining policies (D t, E t, B t+1 ) maximize the surplus. 9
11 FINANCIAL AND HIRING DECISIONS { S t (B t, N t ) = max E t,b t+1 D t + w t N t u t N t + [ ( ) ] } Nt β 1 η + η(1 λ t ) E t S t+1 (B t+1, N t+1 ) N t+1 subject to: D t + w t N t = z t N t Υ ( Et N t q t B t+1 ξ t βe t S t+1 (B t+1, N t+1 ) N t+1 = (1 λ t )N t + E t ) N t + q t B t+1 B t 10
12 SIMPLIFYING ASSUMPTION q t = β The interest rate is equal to the inter-temporal discount rate 11
13 Normalizing by N t { ) } s t (b t ) = max d t + w t u t + β (g t+1 ηe t E t s t+1 (b t+1 ) e t,b t+1 subject to: d t + w t = z t Υ(e t ) + βg t+1 b t+1 b t ξ t E t s t+1 (b t+1 ) b t+1 g t+1 = 1 λ t + e t. 12
14 LINEAR SURPLUS s t (b t ) = s t b t Proposition 1. If η > 0, the firm borrows up to the limit whenever e t > 0. If η = 0 the debt is undetermined. Proposition 2. If η = 0, the hiring decision e t is independent of b t+1. 13
15 Unattractive property of the model If the firm hires (E t > 0) the borrowing limit is always binding. However, firms hold a lot of cash and unused lines of credit. 14
16 Figure 6: Core Loans and Unused Commitments at Commercial Banks Quarterly Core unused commitments Core loans outstanding $ Trillions (a) Core Loans Outstanding and Unused Commitments 0 Quarterly HELOCs Credit cards Business $ Trillions (b) Composition of Unused Commitments Note: The black line in the top panel depicts the dollar amount of core unused commitments, and the dotted red line depicts the dollar amount of core loans outstanding at U.S. commercial banks. Core loan categories include C&I, real estate, and consumer loans. The bottom panel depicts the composition of unused commitments. All series are deflated by the GDP price deflator (2005 = 100). Shaded vertical bars represent NBER-dated recessions. 0 growth of unused commitments stepped down immediately with the emergence of financial market
17 Does the bargaining channel work when firms accumulate liquidity? 16
18 FINANCIAL DISTRESS The borrowing constraint at time t is b t+1 ξ t E t s t+1 (b t+1 ). When the firm enters t + 1, the constraint may be violated if b t+1 > ξ t+1 s t+1 (b t+1 ). In this case the firm is forced to pay back part of the loan before it can access the equity market or retain earnings. This requires the firm to access alternative sources of funds with (distress) cost: ( 2. ϕ t+1 (b t+1 ) = κ b t+1 bt+1) 17
19 FIRM PROBLEM { ) } s t (b t ) = max d t + w t u t + β (g t+1 ηe t E t s t+1 (b t+1 ) e t,b t+1 subject to: d t + w t = z t Υ(e t ) + βg t+1 b t+1 b t ϕ t (b t ) ξ t E t s t+1 (b t+1 ) b t+1 g t+1 = 1 λ + e t, 18
20 Slope of the surplus functions s t (b t ) b t = 1 ϕ t(b t ). Therefore, s t (b t ) = s t b t ϕ t (b t ) 19
