Abstract

Theoretical studies have shown that under unorthodox assumptions on preferences and production technologies, collateral constraints can act as a powerful amplification and propagation mechanism of exogenous shocks. We investigate whether or not this result hold under more standard assumptions. We find that collateral constraints generate a typically small output amplification. Large amplification is a "knife- edge" type of result.
