The impossibility of effective enforcement mechanisms in collateralized credit markets

Abstract: Abstract. We analyze the possibility of the simultaneous presence of three key features in pricetaking credit markets: infinity horizon, collateralized credit operations and effective additional enforcement mechanisms, i.e. those implying payments besides the value of the collateral guarantees.We show that these additional mechanisms, instead of strengthening, actually weaken the restrictions that collateral places on borrowing. In fact, when collateral requirements are not large enough in relation to the effe… Show more

“…The recent contributions of Seghir (2009) andFerreira andTorres-Martínez (2010) show that the positive results in Araujo, Páscoa, and Torres-Martínez (2002) may not be robust: the effectiveness of collateral requirements to bound debt may not be valid anymore in the natural case where there are other mechanisms leading agents to overpay, that is, to repay more than the collateral when the value of their debt actually exceeds the collateral value.…”

“…Default was introduced in a general equilibrium setting by Dubey, Geanakoplos, and Shubik (1990) and Zame (1993). Modern theoretical contributions on default include among others, Dubey, Geanakoplos, and Zame (1995), Geanakoplos (1997), Geanakoplos and Zame (2002), Araujo, Páscoa, and Torres-Martínez (2002), Kubler and Schmedders (2003), Dubey, Geanakoplos, and Shubik (2005), Fostel and Geanakoplos (2008), Seghir (2009), Ferreira andTorres-Martínez (2010). There are also important contributions on default, collateral and credit constraints in macroeconomics (see Bernanke, Gertler, and Gilchrist (1996), Kiyotaki and Moore (1997) and Caballero and Krishnamurthy (2001)).…”
