Abstract

We develop a stochastic macro-financial model in continuous time by integrating two specifications of the Keen economic framework with a financial market driven by a jump-diffusion process. The economic block of the model combines monetary debt-deflation mechanisms with Ponzi-type financial destabilization and is influenced by the financial market through a stochastic interest rate that depends on asset price returns. The financial market block of the model consists of an asset with jump--diffusion price process with endogenous, state-dependent jump intensities driven by speculative credit flows. The model formalizes a feedback loop linking credit expansion, crash risk, perceived return dynamics, and bank lending spreads. Under suitable parameter restrictions, we establish global existence and non-explosion of the coupled system. Numerical experiments illustrate how variations in credit sensitivity and jump parameters generate regimes ranging from stable growth to recurrent boom--bust cycles. The framework provides a tractable setting for analyzing endogenous financial fragility within a mathematically well-posed macro--financial system.
