The principal objective of this section is to show that credit market imperfections and
sectoral asymmetry can significantly amplify credit shocks to the real economy during
downturns. Our framework is an extension of the BGG "financial accelerator"
mechanism. This involves the link between external finance premium (the difference
between the cost of external funds and thé opportunity of internal funds) and the net
worth of potential borrowers. With credit-market frictions, standard models of lending
with asymmetric information imply an inverse relationship between the external finance
premium and a borrower's net worth. This inverse relationship arises because when
borrowers have little wealth to contribute to project financing, the potential divergence of
interest between the borrower and the lender of external funds is greater, implying
increased agency costs to compensate the lenders. This external finance premium
generates the nonlinear upward portion of the capital supply curve when internal funds
are not sufficient to finance a capital purchase. Therefore, the borrower's net worth is
pro-cyclical and the external finance premium is counter-cyclical, enhancing the swings
in borrowing, and thus in investment, and total output (see panel 1 and 2 of figure 7).
Swings can be further amplified after introducing sectorally asymmetric credit
constraints and the real exchange rate effect. Following the initial impact of credit
shocks, real exchange rate depreciation further reduces the net worth of N sector firms,
resulting in increasing external finance premium. In addition, the N sector faces a more
restricted credit constraint than the T sector; in other words, the external finance premium
is more responsive to a change of net worth in the N sector. The nonlinear portion of the
cost-of-fund curve is steeper. These two effects reinforce each other, resulting in higher
borrowing cost, and larger investment and output drop in the N sector relative to the T
sector (compare panel 3 of Figure 7 with panels 1 and 2).
