5. INTERPRETATIONS
Optimism about the future state of the economy (Blanchard, 2006,
Blanchard and Giavazzi, 2002, Constâncio, 2005)
I Investment and output boom
I Large current account deficits financed by bank lending
Increase in the value of non-financials starting from 1998 (Bris,
Koskinen, and Nilsson, 2009, 2012)
The Global Financial Crisis raised suspicions (Eichengreen, 2010,
Giavazzi and Spaventa, 2010, Merler and Pisani-Ferry, 2012)
I Capital flow reversals, collapse of bank lending and output
GALIP KEMAL OZHAN FINANCIAL INTERMEDIATION, RESOURCE ALLOCATION, AND MACRO INTERDEPENDENCE 5
6. QUESTIONS
What is the role of the financial sector in affecting domestic resource
allocation and cross-border capital flows?
Does domestic allocation of foreign borrowing matter for the current
account?
What are the implications of unconventional policy when the economy is
suffering from sudden reversals of capital flows?
GALIP KEMAL OZHAN FINANCIAL INTERMEDIATION, RESOURCE ALLOCATION, AND MACRO INTERDEPENDENCE 6
7. WHAT I DO (1)
Developing a two-country quantitative macro model with a financial
sector, in which intermediaries lend funds to be invested in traded or
non-traded sector capital, and borrow from households in both countries
I Distinguishing between goods produced in each country
I Incomplete international financial markets (deposits)
I Asset heterogeneity within an economy
I Occasionally binding endogenous leverage constraints
(Benigno and Thoenissen, 2008, Corsetti, Dedola, and Leduc, 2008, Gertler
and Karadi, 2011, Gertler and Kiyotaki, 2010)

8. WHAT I DO (2)
Conducting experiments when agents are optimistic about future value of
capital and capturing non-traded-sector-led boom-bust cycles (similar to
formulation in Beaudry and Portier, 2006, Christiano et al., 2010)
I Anticipations about higher value of assets (capital): Borrowing and credit
expansion
I News turn out to be incorrect: Collapse in investment, bank lending,
output; jump in credit spreads
Fluctuations based solely on optimism and disappointment (Pigou, 1927,
Keynes, 1936; Abreu and Brunnermeier, 2012, Brunnermeier and
Oehmke, 2013)
GALIP KEMAL OZHAN FINANCIAL INTERMEDIATION, RESOURCE ALLOCATION, AND MACRO INTERDEPENDENCE 8
9. WHAT I DO (3)
Studying unconventional monetary policy (UMP) conducted by a
common central bank: Direct asset purchases and liquidity facilities
I In response to unfulfilled expectations
I Toward sector-specific conditions
I Funded by interest-bearing reserves

10. NEW INSIGHTS
Model’s non-linear solution that captures the state dependent fluctuations is
crucial for explaining the consensus narrative. When leverage constraints
bind:
Stronger financial accelerator: demand channel
Bank portfolio problem: intra-national spillover channel
International incomplete markets: international spillover channel

fall further

15. HOUSEHOLDS
g fraction of household members are bankers, 1 g are workers
Workers and bankers bring their wages and profits to their household
Perfect consumption insurance within households
To limit the bankers’ ability to overcome financial constraints:
I with probability 1 , bankers switch occupation every period
I new bankers receive start-up funds from their household

26. CALIBRATION (CONT’D)
Adjust the expected valuation in assets to match the cumulative banking
exposure to traded and non-traded sectors between 1999:QIV-2008:QI
Adjustment implies a 25.5% expected valuation in NT assets (with a 0.55
correlation with T assets)

45. CONCLUSIONS
The model is successful at producing a boom-bust cycle that is
reminiscent of the recent situations in Spain
Three main channels in explaining the mechanism:
I Demand Channel
I Bank Spillover Channel
I International Deposit Market Channel
ECB-type UMP is successful at mitigating the fall in bank lending and
output
A rigorous treatment of the consensus view of what caused the EZ Crisis
(Baldwin and Giavazzi (2015))
I “Capital flows fed non-traded portion of the economy, and the effects of
sudden-reversals were amplified due to bank dominance”
