EPFL2017Mortgage Default in an Estimated Model of the U.S. Housing Market
Luisa Lambertini, Pinar Uysal, Victoria Nuguer
This paper models the housing sector, mortgages and endogenous default in a DSGE setting with nominal and real rigidities. We use data for the period 1981-2006 to estimate our model using Bayesian techniques. We analyze how an increase in risk in the mortg ...
