Abstract

• Two-sector endogenous growth model with credit-driven stockprice bubbles.

• Bubbles’s effectI Credit easing effect(CEE): bubbles relax collateral constraints and

improve investment efficiency.

Introduction

• Method:

• Base paper: Miao and Wang(2011)

• Two-sector endogenous growth model with credit-driven stock pricebubbles

I Capital in one sector has positive externality effect on human capital.

Literatures

• Impact of bubbles on endogenous economic growth.• OLS model with endogenous growth due to externality in capital

accumulation.

• Saint-Paul (1992), Grossman and Yanagawa (1993),King andFerguson (1993)

• Key assumption: Bubbles are on intrinsically useless assets.• Conclusion: Bubbles crowd out investment and reduce the growth

rate of the economy.

• Infinite horizon endogenous growth AK model with financial frictions.

• Hirano and Yanagawa (2010)• Key assumption: Bubbles are also on intrinsically useless assets, but

can be used to relax collateral constraints;investment heterogeneity.• Conclusion: The degree of pledgeability is relatively low,bubbles

enhance growth.

Innovation

• Bubbles are attached to productive assets.

• Growth rate of a bubble here equals to the interest rate minus thedividend yield generated by the bubble,not the interest rate in theTirole (1985) model.

• Two production sectors.

• Sectoral bubbles have a capital reallocation effect betweenproduction sectors,which has not been studied in the literature.

Credit easing effect

• Gan (2007b): Every 10 percent drop in collateral value, theinvestment rate of an average firm is reduced by 0.8 percentagepoints.

• Chaney, Sraer, and Thesmar (2009): The sensitivity ofinvestment to collateral value is stronger the more likely a firm is tobe credit constrained.

• Goyal and Yamada (2004): Investment responds significantly tostock price bubbles.And asset price shocks primarily affect firms thatrely more on bank financing and not necessarily those that useequity financing.

6.3 Do Bubbles Enhance or Retard Growth?

• Bubbleless and the symmetric bubbly equilibria, β = ω but s goesup, therefore no CRE but only CEE,=⇒ gb > g∗.

• Asymmetric bubbles, β > ω.

• B1t > 0,then the externality effect raises the Y/K. CRE let g1b go up.Butsince CEE decrease, then g1b goes down.Only when σ > 1

1−α, CRE

dominates, the gb < g1b.

• B2t > 0,

• CRE is negative compare to symmetric bubbly equilibria due to theless productive sector 2. And CEE decrease,therefore g2b < gb.

• CRE is negative,but CEE is positive compare to bubbleless equilibriadue to the bubble in sector 2.Therefore only σ > 1

dominates, g2b > g∗.

AbstractIntroduction

Asymmetric Bubbly EquilibriumConclusion

This paper showed...• Bubbles have a credit easing effect in that they relax collateralconstraints and improve investment efficiency.

• Sectoral bubbles also have a capital reallocation effect in thatbubbles in one sector attracts capital to be reallocated to thatsector.

• If the elasticity of substitution between the two types of capitalgoods is relatively large, then the capital reallocation effect willdominate the credit easing effect.

• In this case, the existence of bubbles in the sector that does notgenerate externality will reduce long-run growth.Bubbles may occurin the other sector that generates positive externality or in bothsectors. In these cases, the existence of bubbles enhances economicgrowth.
