摘要:I study the impact of financial friction on asset bubbles in an infinite horizon model where rational asset bubbles serve as a store of value and a collateral. Financial friction is characterized from two aspects, the interest rate spread and the loan-to-deposit ratio, which affect the existence of bubbles, its steady-state size and its dynamics in different ways. The impact of financial friction depends on the role of asset bubbles in the economy. When asset bubbles only serve as a store of value (collateral), smaller financial friction not only generates smaller (larger) bubbles in the steady state, but also dampens (amplifies) the fluctuations after the bubble collapses, improving (undermining) the stability of the economy. When both roles are involved, the impact of financial friction depends on the relative importance of the two roles. Bubble size tends to be the largest when financial friction is at an intermediate level. The impact of monetary policies on bubble size depends on the role of bubbles and the type of policy instruments.
