This paper tests a credit channel of monetary policy (especially a bank-lending channel) in
the housing market. We argue that the relevance of the credit channel depends on the
structural features of the housing finance system, in particular efficiency and institutional ...

This paper empirically investigates the effect of “informed finance” on technological change.
The theoretical literature offers conflicting predictions on whether the information of
financiers fosters or inhibits firms' innovation. Using data from a sample of Italian ...

We analyse the impact of financial liberalization on the link between monetary policy and
house prices. We present a simple model of a small open economy subjectto credit
constraints. The model shows that the higher the degree of financial liberalizationis, the ...

We examine the international transmission of business cycles in a two-country model where
credit contracts are imperfectly enforceable. In our economy, foreign lenders differ from
domestic lenders in their ability to recover value from borrowers' assets and, therefore, to ...

This paper estimates the impact of credit rationing on firms' export. We use detailed survey
data from Italian manufacturing firms that provide a firm-specific measure of credit rationing
based directly on firms' responses to the survey rather than indirectly on firms' financial ...

Abstract We analyze how a firm allocates information rights across its multiple banks. By
differentiating their information, a firm prevents its banks from continuing projects only to use
their superior information and seize assets during the reorganization. However, ...
Abstract: This paper tests for the presence of a credit channel (particularly a bank-lending
sub-channel) for monetary policy in the housing market. We argue that the importance of this
channel for investment in residential housing is highly dependent on the structural ...

This article proposes a theory of financial intermediation based on intermediaries' role in the
reallocation of assets of distressed firms. The article suggests that intermediaries aggregate
information on firms in credit relationships and use this information to facilitate asset ...

We develop a theory of the interaction between the entry of lenders and the real sector. The
high liquidation skills of incumbent lenders render them too tough in terminating high-
risk/return projects. Being “foreign” to the market, newcomers have lower ability to ...
R Minetti - Journal of Monetary Economics, 2007 - Elsevier
We construct an economy where a two way interaction between bank capital and project
quality propagates negative shocks to technology or regulation. By shrinking the available
liquidity and the scale of their activity, a contraction in bank loans discourages ...

Abstract We consider an economy where stakeholders' information determines their ability to
grab resources during corporate reorganizations. By borrowing from both relationship and
transactional banks (diversified bank funding), firms prevent banks from continuing bad ...

Abstract A major concern in modern monetary theory has been the development of models
where money is essential and yet substantive issues can be analyzed in a tractable manner.
At the center of this effort is the framework proposed by Lagos and Wright (2005), whose ...

Abstract This paper studies an economy in which firms can operate either a mature or a new
technology and lenders acquire information on the productive assets of the borrowing firms
that are eligible as collateral. We demonstrate that when contracts are imperfectly ...

Abstract We propose a theory of financial intermediaries as internal markets for corporate
assets. By aggregating the information on firms gathered in credit relationships, financial
intermediaries achieve a better reallocation of assets of distressed firms. However, the ...

Abstract A major concern in modern monetary theory is the construction of tractable models

A growing empirical literature finds that the allocation of credit across firms is as important as
its total volume for economic performance. This paper investigates the process through
which credit is reallocated across US businesses employing the methodology developed ...

We compare allocations sustained by credit with allocations sustained by bank notes (inside
money) in a search model with decentralized trade and limited monitoring. We demonstrate
that there exists a credit arrangement that is superior to inside money. However, in ...
Abstract We study an economy where firms face credit constraints tied to the value of their
assets and financiers differ in their information on the market for firms' assets. Financiers with
poor information on the asset market make mistakes in asset liquidation, hoarding assets ...
