Excerpt from Consumption and Liquidity Constraints Homeownersthe empirical work of Hayashi and Runkle It is however distinct from other definitions which deserve mention. The first is that an individual is liquidity constrained whenever he cannot borrow at the rate at which he could lend. This presumably makes all borrowers liquidity con strained.
