Abstract
We review macro-finance models featuring nonlinear dynamics that have recently been developed in the literature, including models with funding liquidity constraints, market liquidity frictions, and bank run frictions, and discuss the empirical evidence and challenges of this class of models. We also construct an illustrative model for readers who are unfamiliar with the literature. Within this framework, we highlight that local linearization approximations omit important nonlinear dynamics and yield biased impulse responses.
