We study the effect of credit constraints on individuals’ income, using a unique data set of business loan applications to a single bank from individuals that are majority owners of small and medium-sized firms.

Event Abstract

The credit score assigned by the bank creates a sharp discontinuity in the decision to originate the loan or not.

We show that a loan origination increases the recipients’ income five years onward by approximately 11% compared to denied applicants.

Our results are robust to the use of individuals’ wealth as the outcome variable and several other re-specifications, and have important implications for the finance-inequality nexus.

Booking

This is an open event, there is no need to book. Please feel free to join us with your colleagues, classmates and friends.
