Survive Another Day: Using Changes in the Composition of Investments to Measure the Cost of Credit Constraints
Garicano, Luis; Steinwender, Claudia - Centre for Economic Performance, LSE - 2013
We introduce a novel empirical strategy to measure credit shocks. Theoretically, we show that credit shocks reduce the value of long term investments relative to short term ones. Under the (conservative) assumption that demand shocks affect short and long run investments similarly, credit shocks...
