Using novel data collected from Nairobi, I document considerable heterogeneity in the construction duration of new residential buildings, with about 40% of buildings started in 2009 still unfinished in 2018. To understand the role of financial development in constructing residential housing, I develop a heterogeneous agent model with financial frictions in which households construct individual housing units. Counterfactual simulations show that improvements in credit provision can substantially speed up the expansion of the aggregate housing stock and increase the city's density by enabling the construction of taller buildings. The model also predicts that investments in incomplete structures emerge as an alternative savings vehicle in the absence of reliable savings accounts.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47890,"journal":{"name":"Review of Economic Dynamics","volume":"52 ","pages":"Pages 70-83"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139089950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I show that permanent unilateral tariffs lead to a recession in the policy-imposed country. In the policy-imposing country, investment experiences a short-run boom while consumption falls immediately and persistently, with intermediate-input tariffs resulting in a larger contraction. At the firm level, the least productive exporters exit from the policy-imposing country, while the most productive ones relocate production there. Relative to a model without multinational firms, this production relocation partially offsets the contractionary effects of tariffs. Crucial to the short-run investment expansion and firms' participation in multinational production in the policy-imposing country is the persistence of tariffs. When tariffs are temporary, investment falls immediately, driving an immediate recession there, in contrast to permanent tariffs. Further, temporary tariffs induce hysteresis in firms' participation in exporting and multinational production, which in turn diminishes the expansionary effects of multinational entry.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":47890,"journal":{"name":"Review of Economic Dynamics","volume":"51 ","pages":"Pages 77-116"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77083042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
