How We Might Model a Credit Squeeze, and Draw Some Policy Implications for Responding to It

Author

  • Sinclair, Peter J. N.

Abstract

This paper endeavours to illustrate the consequences of a credit squeeze by inserting a standard model of retail banks into some familiar macroeconomic models. Some possible policy conclusions are drawn about the benefits of incentives to increase lending at these times, and to reduce it in much better times.
