Abstract

This paper builds and estimtates a dynamic equilibrium model to study renegotiation between borrowers and lenders over distressed fixed-rate mortage loans using a unqie mortgage loan level data. The model captures borrowers' as well as lenders' behavior prior to borrowers' mortgages becoming distressed and after mortgage renegotiation. It allows for private information regarding borrowers' payment ability and features various realistic transaction costs associated with mortgage modification and foreclosure. Our estimation of the model reveals that ...
