Abstract
Under adverse selection, redlining of borrowers may occur when their wealth is notsufficient to reach the collateral needed by creditors to separate types. In this paper,potential entrepreneurs can join in a peer group and voluntarily decide to collect andredistribute their endowments. If the fund is not enough to give everyone the amountof collateral that allows for a separation of types, this paper suggests that the governmentshould intervene with a subsidy on the collateral. This policy produces a uniqueseparating equilibrium and is the optimal intervention in the setup analyzed.File in questo prodotto:
