Endogenous Liquidity and Capital Reallocation
International Political Economy: Investment & Finance eJournal(2021)
Abstract
We study economies where firms acquire capital in primary markets, then, after information on idiosyncratic productivity arrives, retrade it in secondary markets. Our secondary markets incorporate bilateral trade with search, bargaining and liquidity frictions. We distinguish between full or partial sales (one firm gets all or some of the other’s capital). Both exhibit interesting long- and short-run patterns in data that the model can match. Depending on monetary and credit conditions, more partial sales occur when liquidity is tight. Quantitatively, we find significant steady-state and business-cycle implications. We also investigate the impact of search, taxation, and persistence in firm-specific shocks.
