Professor Kevin D. Salyer (UC Davis) Gertler and Hubbard article 05/09 2 / 8
8 Some Excerpts from the G & H article At a more formal level, recent research in macroeconomics- both theoretical and empirical-has resurrected the idea that capital market imperfections may be signi cant factors in business volatility by making new progress in characterizing the mechanisms. Over the last decade, much of the e ort in macroeconomics has involved developing models of business uctuations in which the structural relationships are explicit outcomes of rational economic behavior. The centerpiece is the "real business cycle" paradigm, developed by Kydland and Prescott (1982). First, nancial factors are completely absent. Because all markets function perfectly in the competitive equilibrium growth model, the Modigliani-Miller theorem applies; nancial structure is both irrelevant and indeterminate. Professor Kevin D. Salyer (UC Davis) Gertler and Hubbard article 05/09 3 / 8
9 Some Excerpts from the G & H article This latter feature has motivated a new stage of research aimed at enriching the endogenous component of the propagation mechanism. The common objective is to rationalize and test theories that can explain how relatively small exogenous shocks can produce large uctuations in output. A third (research avenue), which we consider here, is to explore the implications of certain capital market imperfections. To this extent, it borrows heavily from the economics of information and incentives to explicitly motivate frictions in capital markets and, correspondingly, a meaningful role for nancial structure in real economic activity. Professor Kevin D. Salyer (UC Davis) Gertler and Hubbard article 05/09 4 / 8
10 Excerpts continued The new work stresses two basic avenues in which nancial factors may contribute to investment volatility. Each presumes a setting where informational asymmetries between borrowers and lenders introduce incentive problems in nancial relationships. Professor Kevin D. Salyer (UC Davis) Gertler and Hubbard article 05/09 5 / 8
11 Excerpts continued The new work stresses two basic avenues in which nancial factors may contribute to investment volatility. Each presumes a setting where informational asymmetries between borrowers and lenders introduce incentive problems in nancial relationships. 1 The rst involves the rm s internal net worth, which becomes a critical determinant of the terms under which it can borrow in this type of environment. Professor Kevin D. Salyer (UC Davis) Gertler and Hubbard article 05/09 5 / 8
12 Excerpts continued The new work stresses two basic avenues in which nancial factors may contribute to investment volatility. Each presumes a setting where informational asymmetries between borrowers and lenders introduce incentive problems in nancial relationships. 1 The rst involves the rm s internal net worth, which becomes a critical determinant of the terms under which it can borrow in this type of environment. 2 The second main avenue stressed involves the supply of intermediary credit, particularly business loans supplied by commercial banks. Underlying this channel is the idea that certain classes of borrowers may nd it prohibitively expensive to obtain nancing by directly issuing securities on the open market. Financial intermediaries help overcome this friction by exploiting scale economies in the evaluation and monitoring of borrowers. Professor Kevin D. Salyer (UC Davis) Gertler and Hubbard article 05/09 5 / 8
13 Excerpts continued Theoretical models which motivate these types of real- nancial mechanisms from rst principles are now in abundance. The main challenge remaining is to quantify their importance. This task is at an early stage. Professor Kevin D. Salyer (UC Davis) Gertler and Hubbard article 05/09 6 / 8
14 Excerpts continued Theoretical models which motivate these types of real- nancial mechanisms from rst principles are now in abundance. The main challenge remaining is to quantify their importance. This task is at an early stage. Overall, the theme that emerges from this initial empirical work is that nancial factors are important to the behavior of small, growing rms, at least relative to large, mature rms. Professor Kevin D. Salyer (UC Davis) Gertler and Hubbard article 05/09 6 / 8
15 Model Highlights Partial Equilibrium model of investment Professor Kevin D. Salyer (UC Davis) Gertler and Hubbard article 05/09 7 / 8
16 Model Highlights Partial Equilibrium model of investment Two types of capital: Hard Capital and Soft Capital. Soft capital increases the probability of high productivity. Professor Kevin D. Salyer (UC Davis) Gertler and Hubbard article 05/09 7 / 8
17 Model Highlights Partial Equilibrium model of investment Two types of capital: Hard Capital and Soft Capital. Soft capital increases the probability of high productivity. Soft Capital investment can not be observed - entrepreneurs have incentive to use for their own purposes. Professor Kevin D. Salyer (UC Davis) Gertler and Hubbard article 05/09 7 / 8
18 Model Highlights Partial Equilibrium model of investment Two types of capital: Hard Capital and Soft Capital. Soft capital increases the probability of high productivity. Soft Capital investment can not be observed - entrepreneurs have incentive to use for their own purposes. Lenders structure payments to induce entrepreneurs to invest in soft capital. Professor Kevin D. Salyer (UC Davis) Gertler and Hubbard article 05/09 7 / 8

20 Model Highlights Three Main Conclusions Professor Kevin D. Salyer (UC Davis) Gertler and Hubbard article 05/09 8 / 8
21 Model Highlights Three Main Conclusions 1 Net worth plays a critical role in the amount of lending - entrepreneur has more at risk in case of bad outcome. Professor Kevin D. Salyer (UC Davis) Gertler and Hubbard article 05/09 8 / 8
22 Model Highlights Three Main Conclusions 1 Net worth plays a critical role in the amount of lending - entrepreneur has more at risk in case of bad outcome. 2 Increase in interest rates lowers investment - worsens the incentive problem and reduces the value of collateralizable assets. Professor Kevin D. Salyer (UC Davis) Gertler and Hubbard article 05/09 8 / 8
23 Model Highlights Three Main Conclusions 1 Net worth plays a critical role in the amount of lending - entrepreneur has more at risk in case of bad outcome. 2 Increase in interest rates lowers investment - worsens the incentive problem and reduces the value of collateralizable assets. 3 Investment uctuations may exhibit asymmetries: downturns are sharper than expansions due to changes in net worth.
