We propose three essays that deal with the problem of financial frictions into a general equilibrium framework. This topic quickly became one of the most relevant for the policy maker in order to understand the role played by the financial intermediaries in the recent financial downturn. The first chapter is a review of the most recent contributions about dynamic general equilibrium models with financial frictions. We focus our attention on contributions that have as primary target to better understand the role played by the interbank market in the business cycle fluctuation and the role of macroprudential policy. The second chapter sets up a DSGE model with an active interbank market. In our model an interbank riskiness shock that increases the riskiness of the interbank market could divert resources from the interbank lending to the gov- ernment bonds market causing a recession due to the decrease of credit available for the firms and the households. Empirical studies confirm that the sudden col- lapse of the interbank market during financial crisis played an important role our model seems to reconcile the empirical evidence and the economic theory. The third chapter builds a Markov switching DSGE model with banks based in order to understand the role of unconventional monetary policy. The finan- cial crisis is triggered by an exogenous shock on the quality of bank that shrinks the balance sheet of the bank. A contraction of the bank capital could gen- erate a decrease of the credit supply and a recession. The introduction of an unconventional monetary rule seems to dampen this mechanism. Moreover, no notable drawbacks on the primary target of price stability is caused by the unconventional intervention of the central bank.
La tesi si compone di tre capitoli che trattano il problema del settore in modelli Dynamic General Equilibrium Model. Il tema in questione `e rapidamente diven- tato uno dei pi`u rilevanti per i policy maker per comprendere il ruolo giocato dagli intermediari finanziari nella recente crisi finanziaria. Il primo capitolo `e una review dei pi`u recenti contributi in letteratura su modelli DSGE con frizioni finanziarie. La rassegna si sofferma soprattutto su due categorie di modelli: a) Modelli che hanno come obbiettivo primario quello di analizzare il ruolo del mercato del credito interbancario b) Modelli che cer- cano di incorporare le politiche non convenzionali che le banche centrali hanno condotto dal 2008 ad oggi. Il secondo capitolo propone un modello DSGE con interbancario il cui ob- biettivo `e quello di analizzare le risposte dell’economia quando il mercato in- terbancario `e colpito da shock esogeni di rischiosit`a. Un incremento del rischio genera uno spostamento di risorse dall’interbancario al mercato dei titoli gover- nativi creando una recessione tramite la riduzione del credito disponibile per le aziende ed il credito al consumo. Il terzo capito propone un altro modello DSGE basato su quello del prece- dente capitolo dove si analizzano le politiche non convenzionali della banca cen- trale. Nel modello la crisi `e generata dalla contrazione del capitale bancario che a sua volta determina una diminuzione del credito, una diminuzione degli investimenti ed infine un recessione. L’utilizzo di modelli Markov switching DSGE permette di analizzare l’economia in tre differenti stati: non crisi, crisi senza intervento della banca centrale, crisis con intervento della banca centrale. L’introduzione di una regola non convenzionale sembra attenuare la crisi senza effetti negativi sull’ obbiettivo primario della stabilit`a dei prezzi.

Abstract
We propose three essays that deal with the problem of financial frictions into a general equilibrium framework. This topic quickly became one of the most relevant for the policy maker in order to understand the role played by the financial intermediaries in the recent financial downturn. The first chapter is a review of the most recent contributions about dynamic general equilibrium models with financial frictions. We focus our attention on contributions that have as primary target to better understand the role played by the interbank market in the business cycle fluctuation and the role of macroprudential policy. The second chapter sets up a DSGE model with an active interbank market. In our model an interbank riskiness shock that increases the riskiness of the interbank market could divert resources from the interbank lending to the gov- ernment bonds market causing a recession due to the decrease of credit available for the firms and the households. Empirical studies confirm that the sudden col- lapse of the interbank market during financial crisis played an important role our model seems to reconcile the empirical evidence and the economic theory. The third chapter builds a Markov switching DSGE model with banks based in order to understand the role of unconventional monetary policy. The finan- cial crisis is triggered by an exogenous shock on the quality of bank that shrinks the balance sheet of the bank. A contraction of the bank capital could gen- erate a decrease of the credit supply and a recession. The introduction of an unconventional monetary rule seems to dampen this mechanism. Moreover, no notable drawbacks on the primary target of price stability is caused by the unconventional intervention of the central bank.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
