The result is mostly accounted for by general equilibrium\neffects through lower housing prices and weak demand for labor. We\nshow that\, even with foreclosures costs\, in a liquidity trap mortgage\nregulations that allow for default are welf are dominant to regulations\nthat discourage it. In terms of methodology\, we show that models of\nliquidity traps with long-term debt\, endogenous housing prices and\ndefault significantly amplify the impact and persisten ce of financial\nshocks.\n DTSTART:20171027T180000Z DTEND:20171027T193000Z LOCATION:Gerri C.
