本文研究了总信贷冲击后耐用消费品市场的均衡动态。我们在一个一般均衡模型中引入了两个新的特征:(1)不可拆分的耐用品在质量上是垂直区分的;(2)在二级市场上以市场清算价格进行交易,家庭内生地选择何时交易或报废耐用品。该模型突出了宏观经济冲击的一种新的传导机制,并成功地匹配了我们使用大衰退前后美国汽车市场数据记录的几种经验模式。在收紧借款上限后,受债务约束的家庭推迟决定报废和升级他们的低质量汽车,这压低了中等质量汽车的价格。反过来,这种效应降低了富裕家庭用高质量汽车取代中档汽车的动机,从而减少了新车的销售。我们进一步使用我们的框架来评估有针对性的财政刺激政策,如2009年的汽车津贴回扣制度(“旧车换现金”)。
This article studies equilibrium dynamics in consumer durable goods markets after aggregate credit shocks. We introduce two novel features into a general-equilibrium model of durable consumption with heterogeneous households facing idiosyncratic income risk and borrowing constraints: (1) indivisible durable goods are vertically differentiated in their quality and (2) trade on secondary markets at market-clearing prices, with households endogenously choosing when to trade or scrap their durables. The model highlights a new transmission mechanism for macroeconomic shocks and successfully matches several empirical patterns that we document using data on U.S. car markets around the Great Recession. After a tightening of the borrowing limit, debt-constrained households postpone the decision to scrap and upgrade their low-quality cars, which depresses mid-quality car prices. In turn, this effect reduces wealthy households’ incentives to replace their mid-quality cars with high-quality ones, thereby decreasing new-car sales. We further use our framework to evaluate targeted fiscal stimulus policies such as the Car Allowance Rebate System in 2009 (“Cash for Clunkers”).
