The Dynamics of Mortgage Debt in Default
Jiang, Helu; Sanchez, Juan M. (2016)
Rapid declines in house prices, negative home equity, and the number of households in default all contributed to the dramatic increase in mortgage defaults during the Great Recession.

The size and growth of businesses started during the financial crisis
Sanchez, Juan M. (2013)

Job gains and losses at large and small firms during the Great Recession
Sanchez, Juan M.; Ricketts, Lowell R. (2012-07)
Conventional wisdom says that employment at small firms declines more than employment at large firms during recessions. However, that doesn?t seem to have been the case during the Great Recession of 2007-09.

Revisiting Gertler-Gilchrist Evidence on the Behavior of Small and Large Firms
Kudlyak, Marianna; Sanchez, Juan M. (2016-03-30)
Gertler and Gilchrist (1994) provide evidence for the prevailing view that adverse shocks are propagated via credit constraints of small firms. We revisit the behavior of small versus large firms during the episodes of credit disruption and recessions in the sample extended to cover the 2007-09 economic crisis. We find that large firms'' short-term debt and sales contracted relatively more than those of small firms during the 2007-09 episode. Furthermore, the short-term debt of large firms also contracted relatively more in the previous tight money episodes if one takes into account the ...

Working Paper
Mortgage defaults
Sanchez, Juan M.; Martinez, Leonardo; Hatchondo, Juan Carlos (2011)
We present a model in which households facing income and housing-price shocks use long-term mortgages to purchase houses. Interest rates on mortgages reflect the risk of default. The model accounts for observed patterns of housing consumption, mortgage borrowing, and defaults. We use the model as a laboratory to evaluate default-prevention policies. While recourse mortgages make the penalty for default harsher and thus may lower the default rate, they also lower equity and increase payments and thus may increase the default rate. Introducing loan-to-value (LTV) limits for new mortgages ...

Household Financial Distress and the Burden of 'Aggregate' Shocks
Athreya, Kartik B.; Sanchez, Juan M.; Mather, Ryan; Mustre-del-Rio, Jose (2020-09-15)
The goal of this paper is to show that household-level financial distress (FD) varies greatly, meaning there is unequal exposure to macroeconomic risk, and that FD can increase macroeconomic vulnerability. To do this, we first establish three facts: (i) regions in the U.S. vary significantly in their "FD-intensity," measured either by how much additional credit households therein can access, or in how delinquent they typically are on debts, (ii) shocks that are typically viewed as "aggregate" in nature hit geographic areas quite differently, and (iii) FD is an economic "pre-existing ...

How Does Informal Employment Affect the Design of Unemployment Insurance and Employment Protection?
Espino, Emilio; Sanchez, Juan M. (2015)
The authors use a simple model to study the optimal design of unemployment insurance and employment protection. Workers are risk averse and face the possibility of unemployment. Firms are risk neutral and face random shocks to productivity. Workers can participate in a shadow economy, or informal sector. The model yields several lessons. First, countries should encourage formal employment to address the issue of informal employment. In extreme cases, such encouragement translates into high severance payments and negative payroll taxes. Along these same lines, unemployment payments cannot be ...
