An Empirical Study of the Credit Market with Unobserved Consumer Typers
Gan, Li - 2008
This paper proposes an econometric model to identify unobserved consumer types in the credit market. Consumers choose different amounts of loan because of differences in their time or risk preferences (types). Thus, the unconditional probability of default is modeled using a mixture density...

Designed to Fail : Effects of the Default Option and Information Complexity on Student Loan Repayment
Cox, James C. - 2018
We ask why so few student loan borrowers enroll in Income Driven Repayment when the majority would benefit from doing so. To do so we run an incentivized laboratory experiment using a facsimile of the government's Student Loan Exit Counseling website. We test the role information complexity,...

Dynamic Debt Runs
He, Zhiguo - 2009
We develop a dynamic model of debt runs on a firm, which invests in an illiquid asset by rolling over staggered short-term debt contracts. We derive a unique threshold equilibrium, in which creditors coordinate their asynchronous rollover decisions based on the firm's publicly observable and...

As such, noise in the Treasury market can be informative and we expect this information about liquidity to … -- high liquidity and low credit risk. Indeed, we find that our "noise'' measure captures episodes of liquidity crises of …
