Abstract/Index

This essay is about Knightian uncertainty in the banking system and its effects on the productive sector and on the rest of the economy. A real business cycle model that explicitly models the banking sector is considered to describe the main macroeconomic variables. Unlike other papers, here no particular assumption on bank capital requirements or market frictions are made. It turns out that uncertainty about the likelihood of future events hitting the banks' capital is sufficient to produce a consistent credit crunch and a consequent depression of economic activity. Moreover, in this setting standard expansionary scal policies are insufficient to restore the pre-shock situation.
