摘要:We augment a standard monetary DSGE model to include a banking sector and nancial markets. We t the model to Euro Area and US data. We nd that agency problems in nancial contracts, liquidity constraints facing banks and shocks that alter the perception of market risk and hit nancial intermediation — ‘nancial factors’ in short — are prime determinants of economic uctuations. They have been critical triggers and propagators in the recent nancial crisis. Financial intermediation turns an otherwise diversiable source of idiosyncratic economic uncertainty, the ‘risk shock’, into a systemic force.
