摘要
Stiglitz and Weiss (1981) credit rationing is embedded within rank dependent expected utility theory. Our results show that sufficient pessimism or sufficient risk-aversion by borrowers may eliminate adverse selection. Moreover, lender optimism may eliminate credit rationing even when adverse selection exists. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
