If loan contracts are indexed, the interest rate adjustment to non-prime borrowers, following an increase in the cost of funds to the bank, will be greater than that which a profit-maximizing bank would desire. As a result, it is proposed that the proportion of loan commitments drawn down by non-prime borrowers declines when the cost of bank funds rises. An analysis with data from developing-country borrowings confirms this proposition. © 1987. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/14710 | ISSN: | 02615606 | DOI: | 10.1016/0261-5606(87)90007-6 | Rights: | © 1987 Elsevier | Type: | Article | Affiliation : | Oklahoma State University |
