Popis: A well-informed and cautious financial system can improve the welfare outcome of an economy by making lenders surplus to borrowers. Nevertheless, in a crisis, the behavior of the financial system can become an amplifier of it, given that credit approval conditions rarely meet the standards.

This paper illustrates the aforementioned point by developing a general equilibrium model where the collateral credit condition defines the prudential behavior of the financial system. It and other conditions amplify the magnitude of a negative pro- ductivity shock
