Law Review: Cespedes, Jacelly and Parra, Carlos and Sialm, Clemens, The Effect of Principal Reduction on Household Distress: Evidence from Mortgage Cramdown

Abstract:

Mortgage cramdown has been proposed as a mechanism to avoid mortgage foreclosures in times of crisis. In this restructuring, the underwater portion of the mortgage is treated as unsecured debt and can be discharged during Chapter 13 bankruptcy. To quantify the ex-post effects of bankruptcy discharge in cramdown courts, we use a new dataset of district courts that allowed mortgage cramdown over the period from 1989 to 1993.
