Key Assumpions of he Model* Model Esimaion 1. The banking secor plays a key role in channeling funds o he real secor. 2. There are srucural and policy disorions leading o moral hazard problems. Bank level: Lax banking supervision Excessive lending & accumulaion of banks non-performing loan (NPL) losses Inernaional level: Gov. guaranee & sable FX rae Excessive lending & underesimaion of risks by foreign crediors Corporae level: Gov. subsidies/incenives Overinvesmen 3. A sudden sop occurs when he expeced gov. liabiliies > counry s liquid asses (inernaional reserves) * This model exends he moral hazard models by Corsei, Peseni, and Roubini (1999) and Dekle and Klezer (2005) 5

In equilibrium, each bank ses deposi rae = foreign borrowing rae required by foreign crediors b c w r = i = r = ψ i + ψ b bˆ lending rae o make enough profis from PL o cover losses from NPL r l r + ξ = 1 NPL 0 ( ) By paying dividends X, each bank accumulaes NPL losses in F F (1+ r )F + X where X = (1 υ)(npl 1)e 1(r 1 = 1 1 Model Esimaion 1 + ξ) υ indicaes level of NPL losses banks accumulae (MH a bank level). ψ 1 indicaes how much higher an ineres rae foreign invesors charge for a greaer amoun of banks foreign borrowing (MH a in l level). 9
Household Secor: hhs are idenical. Receive income consising of Taxable income = [Wage + Bond/sock reurn +Dividends paid by firms] +[Operaing expenses & Dividends paid by banks] = [Y s + S s d K s-1 (1-NPL s-1 ) r l s-1 e s-1 ]+ [ξ e s-1 + X s ] = Y s + S s d K s-1 r s-1 e s-1 + X s Non-axable income from ineress on deposis = r s-1 a s-1 Spend heir income on Consumpion = C s Model Esimaion applicaion Simulaion Change in real money balance = (M s -M s-1 )/P s Invesmen in bonds/socks issued by firms = cap*(k s -k s-1 ) Deposis = a s -a s-1 Ge uiliy from consumpion and money holdings 10
Household Secor (2) Hhs choose he pahs of consumpion (C s ), money balance (M s ), and deposi amoun (a s ) o maximize heir expeced uiliy.

Conclusion Model Esimaion 1. Moral hazard problems, ogeher wih capial flows, fuel as well as desabilize an economy. During he boom, capial flows via banks are used o finance firms excessive invesmen and banks cumulaive losses. When banks cumulaive losses and foreign borrowing keep increasing, he economy will never be a he seady sae & a sudden sop will surely occur. 2. Some changes in he qualiy of insiuions and policies benefi while some hur he economy. Improved banking supervision and foreign invesors esimaion of risks reduce bailou coss & oupu losses significanly Reducion in governmen subsidies hurs he economy since he cos from lower oupu ouweighs he benefi from lower bailou cos 24
