Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of two chapters which study questions at the intersection of macroeconomics, trade, and finance. The first chapter investigates the role of trade for the geographic spread of the 2007-09 recession within the U.S. The second chapter, co-authored with Mauricio Larrain, studies the role of financial market reforms for changes in aggregate productivity, using the example of Eastern European countries in the late 1990s and early 2000s. In the first chapter, I use the large spatial variation in consumer demand shocks at the onset of the Great Recession to study the mechanisms behind the ensuing geographic spread of the crisis. While the initial increase in unemployment was concentrated in areas with housing busts, subsequently unemployment slowly spread across space. By 2009, it was above pre-crisis levels in almost all U.S. counties. I show that trade was an important driver of this geographic spread of the crisis. To identify the trade channel empirically, I make use of heterogeneity in the direction of trade flows across industries in the same state: Industries that sold relatively more to states with housing boom-bust cycles grew by more before the crisis and declined faster from 2007-09. These results cannot be explained by a collapse in credit supply. I then link the reduced form empirical evidence to a formal model of contagion through trade. In a quantitative exercise, the model delivers a cross-sectional effect of similar magnitude as the one found empirically and reveals that the trade channel can explain roughly a third of the overall spread. The second chapter analyzes the microeconomic channels by which financial sector reforms affect aggregate productivity. We use a large firm-level dataset to study the episode of financial market liberalization in 10 Eastern European countries starting in the late 1990s. We exploit cross-sectoral differences in external financial dependence and find that financial reform increases productivity disproportionately in industries heavily dependent on external finance. We show that this productivity increase is driven entirely by improvements in the within-industry allocation of resources across firms, as opposed to within-firm productivity improvements. According to our results, reform allows financially-constrained firms to take on new debt, increase market share, and produce closer to optimal level. A back-of-the-envelope calculation suggests that financial reform increases aggregate manufacturing productivity by 17%. Our results highlight financial markets' key role in improving the within-industry allocation of capital.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation explores the relationship between international financial markets, financial frictions, and the real economy. In particular, the dissertation focuses on the role of the United States of America (US) as the key country in the global financial architecture. The research presented here advances the study of international finance and macroeconomics by analyzing how the combination of two factors, the greater financial development of the US and financing frictions, leads to the special global roles of the US funding markets and the US dollar. In the first Chapter of the dissertation, I develop a model of financial intermediation in a closed economy, which is also the key building block of the open economy analysis in the second Chapter. In an economy with savers and financial intermediaries where financing frictions are present, the state of the financial sector becomes the key state variable. The financing frictions, modeled as the limited enforceability of deposit contracts, prevent capital from flowing freely from savers to the financial intermediaries that ultimately allocate capital to productive real assets. When financial intermediaries are well capitalized, their capital acts as a safety buffer for potential investment losses and, consequently, financing frictions are alleviated. In this state of the world, financial markets closely resemble those of the standard frictionless asset pricing framework. When, on the other hand, intermediaries are poorly capitalized, concerns for potential losses of capital disrupt the financing markets. In this state of the world, capital does not flow smoothly from savers into productive assets via financial intermediaries. In general, risky assets' prices fall and their volatility increases, thus replicating typical features of financial crises. Interestingly, these effects are highly non-linear. In the second Chapter, I provide a framework for understanding the global financial architecture as an equilibrium outcome of the risk sharing between countries with different levels of financial development. The country that has the most developed financial sector takes on a larger proportion of global fundamental and financial risk because its financial intermediaries are better able to deal with funding problems following negative shocks. This asymmetric risk sharing has real consequences. In good times, and in the long run, the more financially developed country consumes more, relative to other countries, and runs a trade deficit financed by the higher financial income that it earns as compensation for taking greater risk. During global crises, it suffers heavier capital losses than other countries, exacerbating its fall in consumption. This country's currency emerges as the world's reserve currency because it appreciates during crises and so provides a good hedge. The model is able to rationalize these facts, which characterize the role of the US as the key country in the global financial architecture. In the third Chapter, I provide empirical evidence on the role of the US dollar as a global safe asset. This empirical evidence provides one of the stylized facts analyzed in my theoretical work. I show that the US dollar earns a safety premium versus a basket of foreign currencies and that this premium is particularly high in times of global financial stress. These findings support the view that the dollar acts as the reserve currency for the international monetary system and that it is a natural safe haven in times of crisis, when a global flight to quality toward the reserve currency takes place. During such episodes, investors are willing to earn negative expected returns as compensation for holding safe dollars. I estimate the time varying dollar safety premium by using instrumental variable techniques to condition information down.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each of the three essays composing this dissertation investigates important economic and econometric issues in international finance and macroeconomics. The first essay, “Market Structure and the Persistence of Sectoral Deviations from Purchasing Power Parity,” examines the relationship between market structure and the persistence of the dollar-based sectoral real exchange rates for fourteen OECD countries. The empirical results based on disaggregated data suggest that differences in market structure significantly determine the rates at which deviations from sectoral purchasing power parity decay. Based on the findings, I argue that an imperfectly competitive market structure is an important source of the well-documented persistence in real exchange rates.

Book excerpt: This thesis contains three essays in empirical macroeconomics. The main focus is on firm financing. In the first chapter, I study the impact of financial covenants on firms' behavior and in particular the impact on investment. Financial covenants are conditions present in almost all bank loan contracts. When a firm does not satisfy those conditions, which are accounting ratios such as a maximal debt to earnings ratio, the bank has the right to call back the loan. In most cases banks use covenant breaches to lower the loan size or adjust other loan terms. I document that around 80% of firms are subject to covenants and most of the covenants are based on a firm's income. For the Great Recession, I use hand-collected data on firms' credit limits to estimate the contribution of income covenants to the credit crunch. I find that about a third of credit line decreases can be plausibly attributed to income covenants. Motivated by these facts, I incorporate an income covenant into an otherwise standard heterogeneous firms model. In a calibrated version of the model I find that income covenants reduce aggregate investment by 1.3% compared to a model without financial frictions. I document that the cost from precaution, i.e. firms borrowing and investing less because they want to avoid a covenant breach, is larger than the direct cost of lower credit supply after a covenant breach. Regressions on simulated firm-level data yield very similar effects of the direct and precautionary effects of income covenants compared to actual data. In the second chapter, Jae-Bin Ahn, Mai Chi Dao and I, document a broad-based increase in cash holdings at the firm level during the last two decades. We build a simple model in which lower trade barriers increase firms' incentives to innovate. Because innovation is risky, firms increase their liquidity holdings when tariffs fall. We test these predictions using firm-level data from five large countries and find that expanding export opportunities and, to a lesser extent, increased import competition, raise cash holdings among incumbent firms. In support of our channel, we find this effect to be stronger among firms investing in R&D. In the third chapter, Simon Fuchs and I look at the global movie market. We show that the revenue share of sequels and adaptations of books has increased dramatically over the last two decades. During the same period the global movie market has become geographically more diverse, i.e. the revenue generated in the US has declined. We connect these two stylized facts in a model where movie studios can release one movie to a market that consists of countries with different taste. Additionally, studios face uncertainty concerning the location of a movie in the taste space. We estimate the global taste space based on market shares. We investigate whether the change in the composition of global demand can account for the increase in the revenue share of sequels. Our current results suggest this is not the case.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of three chapters about how access to financial markets and composition of the labor market determine aggregate macroeconomic outcomes. The first chapter examines the macroeconomic consequences of credit uncertainty using a structural vector autoregression model with stochastic volatility (SVAR-SV). Credit supply conditions in the U.S. is captured by the banks' reports on how credit standards for approving loans have change over time (Bank Lending Standards). The empirical analysis shows that the volatility of macroeconomic and financial variables rises in response to an increase in the credit uncertainty shock. The economic activity falls and credit growth and related interest rates decrease persistently. Moreover, credit volatility shocks explain around 10% of the FEV of endogenous variables. A dissagregated analysis shows that the effect of these shocks are mainly explained by their effects on the corporate business sector. The second chapter studies the role of time-varying credit limits through the lens of a life cycle incomplete markets model calibrated for the U.S. Changes in credit card limits are explained by observable household characteristics and the estimated unobservable variation is quite large. The quantitative exercise shows that even though young households are more indebted in an economy with stochastic borrowing limits, aggregate consumption is not greatly affected by transitory or persistent shocks of this type. However, in the presence of these shocks, households lose the ability to self-insure against other uninsurable idiosyncratic shocks, e.g., labor income shocks. A disaggregated analysis shows that the loss of self-insurance capacity is mainly explained by the effects that stochastic borrowing limits have on the wealth distribution, the precautionary savings channel households have to face unexpected risks. The third chapter studies the role of informal markets to explain economic and demographic variables during a pandemic. The quantitative exercise shows that lockdown policies are less effective in economies with large informal markets, infection and death rates will not decrease as much as formal economies. Moreover, the size of the recession would be exacerbated because informal activities are not counted in the calculation of the GDP. To generate similar results to an economy with only formal markets, the economy with informal markets must implement more severe containment policies.
