Carrot or stick? Evidence from a pair of natural field experiments testing lender information sharing hypotheses

主讲人 Jun Yang 简介 <p>We conducted a pair of natural field experiments on an online lending platform in China to examine the causal effect of borrowers&rsquo; awareness of information sharing among lenders on borrower adverse selection and moral hazard problems. Two features highlight our experiments: 1) both experiments were conducted after loans had been approved by the platform; 2) we altered the timing of borrowers&rsquo; awareness of credit reporting. We find borrowers&rsquo; awareness of lender information sharing affects both take-up and default decisions significantly&mdash;while information sharing substantially mitigated moral hazard, reducing the default likelihood of new borrowers by 5.66%, adverse selection did not improve, likely driven by new borrowers&rsquo; eagerness to establish a credit history.?</p>
