Bank Screening Heterogeneity

Staff working paper 2016-56 Thibaut Duprey
Production efficiency and financial stability do not necessarily go hand in hand. With heterogeneity in banks’ abilities to screen borrowers, the market for loans becomes segmented and a self-competition mechanism arises. When heterogeneity increases, the intensive and extensive margins have opposite effects.

Estimating the Effect of Exchange Rate Changes on Total Exports

Staff working paper 2019-17 Thierry Mayer, Walter Steingress

We provide a new aggregate regression specification that is consistent with bilateral trade flows micro-founded by the gravity equation.
