Download or read book Labor, Credit, and Goods Markets written by Nicolas Petrosky-Nadeau and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An integrated framework to study the theoretical and quantitative properties of economies with frictions in labor, financial, and goods markets. This book offers an integrated framework to study the theoretical and quantitative properties of economies with frictions in multiple markets. Building on analyses of markets with frictions by 2010 Nobel laureates Peter A. Diamond, Dale T. Mortensen, and Christopher A. Pissarides, which provided a new theoretical approach to search markets, the book applies this new paradigm to labor, finance, and goods markets. It shows, in particular, how frictions in different markets interact with each other. The book first covers the main developments in the analysis of the labor market in the presence of frictions, offering a systematic analysis of the dynamics of this environment and explaining the notion of macroeconomic volatility. Then, building on the generality and simplicity of the search analysis, the book adapts it to other markets, developing the tools and concepts to analyze friction in these markets. The book goes beyond the traditional general equilibrium analysis of markets, which is often frictionless. It begins with the standard analysis of a single market, and then sequentially integrates more markets into the analysis, progressing from labor to financial to goods markets. Along the way, the book provides a number of useful results and insights, including the existence of a direct link between search frictions and the degree of volatility in the economy.
Book Synopsis Financial Market Frictions by : Ramon P. DeGennaro
Download or read book Financial Market Frictions written by Ramon P. DeGennaro and published by . This book was released on 2008-01 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defined as anything that interferes with trade, financial market frictions (FMF) can exist even in efficient markets. FMF generate real costs to investors, generate business opportunities, & change over time. FMF depend in part on market structure. Market structure tends to evolve over time, as trading volume increases, from low fixed costs & high marginal costs to high fixed costs & low marginal costs. The authors classify & discuss 5 categories of FMF: transactions costs, taxes & regulations, asset indivisibility, non-traded assets, & agency & info. problems. FMF impose utility costs on investors by making preferable investment portfolios unattainable. Investors who ignore market FMF compound the harm done by the FMF themselves. Illustrations.

Book Synopsis Market Frictions by : Kirsten W. Endres
Download or read book Market Frictions written by Kirsten W. Endres and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2019-06-06 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on ethnographic research conducted over several years, Market Frictions examines the tensions and frictions that emerge from the interaction of global market forces, urban planning policies, and small-scale trading activities in the Vietnamese border city of Lào Cai. Here, it is revealed how small-scale traders and market vendors experience the marketplace, reflect upon their trading activities, and negotiate current state policies and regulations. It shows how “traditional” Vietnamese marketplaces have continually been reshaped and adapted to meet the changing political-economic circumstances and civilizational ideals of the time.
Book Synopsis Market Frictions, Interbank Linkages and Excessive Interconnections by : Mr.Pragyan Deb
Download or read book Market Frictions, Interbank Linkages and Excessive Interconnections written by Mr.Pragyan Deb and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2016-08-26 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper studies banks' decision to form financial interconnections using a model of financial contagion that explicitly takes into account the crisis state of the world. This allows us to model the network formation decision as optimising behaviour of competitive banks, where they balance the benefits of forming interbank linkages against the cost of contagion. We use this framework to study various market frictions that can result in excessive interconnectedness that was seen during the crisis. In this paper, we focus on two channels that arise from regulatory intervention—deposit insurance and the too big to fail problem.

Book Synopsis Market Frictions, Risk Management and Performance by : João Correia Leitão
Download or read book Market Frictions, Risk Management and Performance written by João Correia Leitão and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-10 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes risk management and performance under the challenging context of market frictions, an environment that is characterized by a high degree of volatility and uncertainty. The contributions provide answers to essential questions on how shock transmission can be regulated or arbitrated for exploitation as investment opportunities in high-uncertainty contexts, and on how the combination of competition and high uncertainty harms or benefits the financial markets and corporate performance.
Download or read book Money and Credit written by Liang Wang and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2017-01-27 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We develop a theory of money and credit as competing payment instruments, then put it to work in applications. Buyers can use cash or credit, with the former (latter) subject to the inflation tax (transaction costs). Frictions that make the choice of payment method interesting also imply equilibrium price dispersion. We deliver closed-form solutions for money demand. We then show the model can simultaneously account for the price-change facts, cash-credit shares in micro payment data, and money-interest correlations in macro data. We analyze the effects of inflation on welfare, price dispersion and markups. We also describe nonstationary equilibria as self-fulfilling prophecies, which is standard, except here it entails dynamics in the price distribution.
Book Synopsis Emerging Market Business Cycles by : Ms.Emine Boz
Download or read book Emerging Market Business Cycles written by Ms.Emine Boz and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2012-10-09 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging economies are characterized by higher consumption and real wage variability relative to output and a strongly countercyclical current account. A real business cycle model of a small open economy that embeds a Mortensen-Pissarides type of search-matching frictions and countercyclical interest rate shocks can jointly account for these regularities. In the face of countercyclical interest rate shocks, search-matching frictions increase future employment uncertainty, improving workers’ incentive to save and generating a greater response of consumption and the current account. Higher consumption response in turn feeds into larger fluctuations in the workers’ bargaining power while the interest rates shocks lead to variations in the firms’ willingness to hire; both of which contribute to a highly variable real wage.

Book Synopsis Labor-market Frictions and Employment Fluctuations by : Robert E. Hall
Download or read book Labor-market Frictions and Employment Fluctuations written by Robert E. Hall and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The labor market occupies center stage in modern theories of fluctuations. The most important phenomenon to explain and understand in a recession is the sharp decline in employment and jump in unemployment. This chapter for the Handbook of Macroeconomics considers explanations based on frictions in the labor market. Earlier research within the real business cycle paradigm considered frictionless labor markets where fluctuations in the volume of work effort represented substitution by households between work in the market and activities at home. A preliminary section of the chapter discusses why frictionless models are incomplete they fail to account for either the magnitude or persistence of fluctuations in employment. And the frictionless models fail completely to describe unemployment. The evidence suggests strongly that consideration of unemployment as a third use of time is critical for a realistic model. The two elements of a theory of unemployment are a mechanism for workers to lose or leave their jobs and an explanation for the time required for them to find new jobs. Theories of mechanism design or of continuous re-bargaining of employment terms provide the first. The theory of job search together with efficiency wages and related issues provides the second. Modern macro models incorporating these features come much closer than their predecessors to realistic and rigorous explanations of the magnitude and persistence of fluctuations.
Book Synopsis Popularity: A Bridge between Classical and Behavioral Finance by : Roger G. Ibbotson
Download or read book Popularity: A Bridge between Classical and Behavioral Finance written by Roger G. Ibbotson and published by CFA Institute Research Foundation. This book was released on 2018 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classical and behavioral finance are often seen as being at odds, but the idea of “popularity” has been introduced as a way of reconciling the two approaches. Investors like or dislike various characteristics of securities for rational reasons (as in classical finance) or irrational reasons (as in behavioral finance), which makes the assets popular or unpopular. In the capital markets, popular (unpopular) securities trade at prices that are higher (lower) than they would be otherwise; hence, the shares may provide lower (higher) expected returns.This book builds on this idea and expands it in two major ways. First, it introduces a rigorous asset pricing model, the popularity asset pricing model (PAPM), which adds investor preferences for security characteristics other than the risk and expected return that are part of the capital asset pricing model. A major conclusion of the PAPM is that the expected return of any security is a linear function of not only its systematic risk (beta) but also of all security characteristics that investors care about. The other major contribution of the book is new empirical work that, while confirming the well-known premiums (such as size, value, and liquidity) in a popularity context, supports the popularity hypothesis on the basis of portfolios of stocks based on such characteristics as brand value, sustainable competitive advantage, and reputation. Popularity unifies the factors that affect price in classical finance with those that drive price in behavioral finance, thus creating a unifying theory or bridge between classical and behavioral finance.

Book Synopsis The Magnitude and Cyclical Behavior of Financial Market Frictions by : Andrew Theo Levin
Download or read book The Magnitude and Cyclical Behavior of Financial Market Frictions written by Andrew Theo Levin and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We quantify the cross-sectional and time-series behavior of the wedge between the cost of external and internal finance by estimating the structural parameters of a canonical debt-contracting model with informational frictions. For this purpose, we construct a new dataset that includes balance sheet information, measures of expected default risk, and credit spreads on publicly traded debt for about 900 U.S. firms over the period 1997Q1 to 2003Q3. Using nonlinear least squares, we obtain precise time-specific estimates of the bankruptcy cost parameter and consistently reject the null hypothesis of frictionless financial markets. For most of the firms in our sample, the estimated premium on external finance was very low during the expansionary period 1997-99, but rose sharply in 2000--especially for firms with higher ratios of debt to equity--and remained elevated until early 2003"--Abstract.
