14
Information sharing among banks Establishing public credit registers Black lists – implemented by law The type and reliability of information The share of bad borrowers in the private credit market The benefit and drawbacks of bad information sharing –Low coverage –Weak predictive power about good borrowers’ future behavior
15
Can a full list become the banks’ dominant strategy? Until fraction of bad borrowers is small – banks prefer no information sharing –Large banks also benefit from “poisoning” the customer base of smaller banks – myopic behavior If banks operate with similar costs – competition is soft – no need to acquire customer information Growing indebtedness of private borrowers –Mortgage loans and auto loans
16
Information sharing – the borrowers’ perspective Interest rates with no information sharing > interest rates with a full list Interest rates with full list > interest rates with black list Good borrowers would prefer information sharing about “bad” customers Full information sharing may violate individuals’ civil rights (too much information is around)
