This paper studies bank competition with borrower adverse selection. In the model, expected non-performing loan costs … are high when credit is granted in booms, when risk free rates are low, or when competition is strong.

We give a set of sufficient conditions for uniqueness of a time-consistent Markov stationary consumption policy for a quasi-hyperbolic household under uncertainty. To the best of our knowledge, this uniqueness result is the first presented in the literature for general settings, i.e. under...
