TLDR
In this article, the impact of real estate prices on corporate investment was studied and the sensitivity of investment to real estate values was found to be a function of local variations in real estate price as shocks to the collateral value of firms that own real estate.Abstract:
What is the impact of real estate prices on corporate investment? In the presence of financing frictions, firms use pledgeable assets as collateral to finance new projects. Through this collateral channel, shocks to the value of real estate can have a large impact on aggregate investment. To compute the sensitivity of investment to collateral value, we use local variations in real estate prices as shocks to the collateral value of firms that own real estate. Over the 1993-2007 period, the representative US corporation invests $0.06 out of each $1 of collateral.read more

Optimal labor-income tax volatility with credit frictions.
TL;DR: In this article, the optimality of labor tax smoothing in a simple model with credit frictions was studied and it was shown that while the notion of "wedge smoothing" is carried over to this environment, it is achieved only through a volatile labor-income tax rate.
The Collateral Channel and Bank Credit
TL;DR: In this paper , the role of the collateral channel for bank credit using confidential bank-firm-loan data is studied and it is shown that firms pledging real estate collateral experience a 12 basis point higher growth in bank lending with higher sensitivities for more credit constrained firms.
