| We consider the effects of heterogeneous beliefs in a general equilibrium model with endogenous collateral constraints and unconventional monetary policy. The heterogeneous expectations modify the way in which agents are restricted in the collateral. We numerically show that the relative optimism of the borrower makes him more leveraged and that this increases the welfare gains of unconventional monetary policy. |
