Abstract
In models with financial frictions, state-contingent contracts stabilize the business cycle relative to contracts with predetermined repayments. We show that this finding depends on whether predetermined repayments are set in real or nominal terms. State-contingent contracts may amplify supply-driven recessions compared to contracts set in nominal terms.
