Sensitivity of Volatility to Different Degrees of Cyclicality in Lending Standards Under Alternative Leverage Levels; 6. Sensitivity AnalysisThe ongoing financial turmoil has triggered a lively debate on ways of containing systemic risk and lessening the likelihood of boom-and-bust episodes in credit markets. Particularly, it has been argued that banking regulation might attenuate procyclicality in lending standards by affecting the behavior of banks’ capital buffers. This paper uses a two-country DSGE model with financial frictions to illustrate how procyclicality in borrowing limits reinforces the “overreaction” of asset prices to shocks described by Aiyagari and Gertler (1999), and to quantify the stabilization gains from policies aimed at smoothing cyclical swings in credit conditions. Results suggest that, in financially constrained economies, the ensuing volatility reduction in equity prices, investment, and external imbalances would be sizable. In the presence of cross-border spillovers, gains would be even higher.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2009/035Credit controlMathematical modelsLoansStandardsMathematical modelsInvestments: StocksimfMacroeconomicsimfMoney and Monetary PolicyimfIndustries: Financial ServicesimfBusiness FluctuationsimfCyclesimfInternational Policy Coordination and TransmissionimfPension FundsimfNon-bank Financial InstitutionsimfFinancial InstrumentsimfInstitutional InvestorsimfMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: GeneralimfMacroeconomics: ConsumptionimfSavingimfWealthimfBanksimfDepository InstitutionsimfMicro Finance InstitutionsimfMortgagesimfPrice LevelimfInflationimfDeflationimfInvestment & securitiesimfMonetary economicsimfFinanceimfStocksimfCreditimfConsumptionimfCollateralimfAsset pricesimfFinancial institutionsimfMoneyimfNational accountsimfPricesimfEconomicsimfLoansimfEstonia, Republic ofimfCredit controlMathematical models.LoansStandardsMathematical models.Investments: StocksMacroeconomicsMoney and Monetary PolicyIndustries: Financial ServicesBusiness FluctuationsCyclesInternational Policy Coordination and TransmissionPension FundsNon-bank Financial InstitutionsFinancial InstrumentsInstitutional InvestorsMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: GeneralMacroeconomics: ConsumptionSavingWealthBanksDepository InstitutionsMicro Finance InstitutionsMortgagesPrice LevelInflationDeflationInvestment & securitiesMonetary economicsFinanceStocksCreditConsumptionCollateralAsset pricesFinancial institutionsMoneyNational accountsPricesEconomicsLoans338.9669Sgherri Silvia1491226Gruss Bertrand1151118DcWaIMFBOOK9910788347803321The Volatility Costs of Procyclical Lending Standards3716529UNINA
