Credit and equity rationing in markets with adverse selection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Previous theories of "nancial market rationing focussed on a single market, either the credit or the equity market. An interesting question is whether credit and equity rationing are mutually compatible, and how they interact. We consider a model with twodimensional asymmetric information, where entrepreneurs have private information about both the expected returns and the risk of their projects. We show that credit and equity rationing may occur individually or simultaneously. Moreover, competition between the two markets may generate the adverse selection that leads to rationing

Credit Rationing, Income Exaggeration, and Adverse Selection in the Mortgage Market∗
We examine the role of borrower concerns about future credit availability in mitigating the effects of adverse selection and income misrepresentation in the mortgage market. We show that the majority of additional risk associated with “low-doc” mortgages originated prior to the Great Recession was due to adverse selection on the part of borrowers who could verify income, but chose not to. We pr...
متن کاملIndustry equilibrium with outside #nancing and moral hazard: Implications for market integration
In this paper, we study industry equilibrium under the assumptions that (1) #rms need outside #nancing and (2) they have a moral hazard problem in taking potentially excessive risks. We characterize an industry equilibrium with credit rationing, where #rms choose not to take risks, and compare this to the industry equilibrium in the absence of credit rationing. In both cases, we show that compe...
متن کاملEndowments and credit market performance: An econometric exploration of non-price rationing mechanisms in rural credit markets in Peru
This paper provides an empirical examination of the frequency and determinants of two forms of non-price rationing in rural credit markets in northern Peru. Quantity rationing is the conventional form of non-price rationing whereby a household with positive demand for credit is denied access. Risk rationing, in contrast, occurs when a household voluntarily withdraws from the credit market for f...
متن کاملAre credit default swaps a sideshow? Evidence that information flows from equity to CDS markets
In this paper we provide evidence that equity returns lead credit protection returns at daily and weekly frequencies, while credit protection returns do not lead equity returns. Our results indicate that informed traders are primarily active in the equity market rather than the CDS market. These findings are consistent with standard theories of market selection by informed traders in which mark...
متن کاملThe system-wide effects of bank capital regulation on credit supply and risk-taking∗
We propose a tractable framework to examine the system-wide effects of bank capital requirements. In our model, banks can serve a socially beneficial role by financing firms that are credit rationed by public markets, but banks’ access to deposit insurance (or implicit guarantees) creates socially undesirable risk-shifting incentives. Equity ratio requirements reduce banks’ risk-taking incentiv...
