This paper investigates the determinants of credit accessibility and the effect of credit on the income of farm households borrowing from Vietnam Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development, Giong Rieng District Branch, Kien Giang Province. Based on the primary data of 200 farming households who are the customer of the bank, the study applied the Probit regression model to examine determinant factors of credit accessibility of farm households and employed the Propensity score matching method to investigate the impact of credit on households' income. The findings of the Probit regression shown that three independent variables that significantly influence the access to credit of households are household size, income source, and farm size. Besides that, the Propensity score matching method results showed a difference of 23.799 million VND/year between the income of borrowing households and that of non-borrowing households at the significance level of 1%. The difference in the imcome from the interval and central matching methods are VND 24.700 million VND/year and VND 24.633 million VND/year, respectively. Given empirical findings suggetsted that several recommendations to increase the credit accessibility of farm households, thereby creating favorable conditions for improving their income.

The study seeks to evaluate the impacts of three types of credit - formal, semi-formal, and informal credits - on the well-being of households in Vietnam's rural areas. Based on data from the Vietnam Household Living Standard Surveys in 2014 and 2016, the research uses the instrumental variable fixed-effect models to estimate the effects of three kinds of credit on household's per capita income and expenditure. There are some significant findings. First, in rural areas, formal credit is the most popular source with stable and cheap borrowing costs. Informal credit is a complement to formal credit to meet urgent needs. Funding agriculture activities is the most commonly cited purpose of borrowing, followed by purchasing assets. The highest misuse rate belongs to the group of loans for agriculture production. Second, the results show that credit helps smoothen consumption rather than generate income for rural households. Three types of credit have insignificant or negative effects on household's per capita income. Formal loans significantly improve total expenditure and spending on healthcare and education. Informal and semi-formal credits show a little influence on consumption. Informal loans have a significantly positive effect on healthcare expenditure. In contrast, having semi-formal loans tends to decrease spending on foods.

Consumer information influences purchasing behavior; however, less is known about the relationship in the credit market. Credit markets offer consumers a complex array of different products when choosing mortgages. The current study examines whether borrowers search for the very best terms when making major decisions about borrowing money or obtaining credit as well as explores the relation between consumer information seeking and the cost of credit. This study demonstrates the existence of price dispersion between those who made an extensive information seeking and those who did not. When controlling for the proxies of creditworthiness and demographics of the respondents, it is found that those who made a great deal of information seeking tend to have lower mortgage rates than those who made almost no information seeking. This study offers financial educators and policy makers suggestions on how to help consumers make better financial decisions.

실증연구들은 2001년 미국의 세금 환급에서 나타난 평균적인 한계소비성향이 이전의 조세 감축에서 보여진 한계소비성향보다 감소되었음을 암시하고 있다. 우리는 이와 같은 현상이 신용카드의 광범위한 사용으로 대부분의 미국 가계에서 차입이 쉬워짐으로써 발생하였다는 것을 차입제약 완화의 동태적 효과를 분석하는 시뮬레이션을 통하여 고찰한다. 우리 모형은 위험 기피도와 시점 간 대체탄력성을 독립적으로 결정하는 Kreps-Porteus 선호를 사용하여 차입제약이 완화된 직후 한계소비성향이 크게 하락하였음을 보여주고 있다. 우리 모형은 또한 차입제약이 완화된 후, 소비자들이 자산을 감소시켜 완화된 차입제약의 구속력이 서서히 커져서 한계소비성향이 이전보다 약간 낮은 새로운 정상상태로 서서히 상승됨을 보여주고 있다. 이러한 한계소비성향의 동태적 패턴은 신용카드 사용으로 인한 차입제약 완화가 2001년 세금환급에서 이전보다 낮은 한계소비성향을 야기하였음을 의미한다. 그리고 우리의 모형은 차입제약이 완화되었을 때 소비자들이 예비적 유동자산을 낮은 수준에서 유지한다는 것을 보여주고 있다.

본고는 산출물 시장에 있어서 독점적으로 행동하는 기업을 고려하여 담보(유담보 융자, 무담보융자)에 의한 차입계약이 차주인 기업의 비용최소화를 통해 비용함수의 형태를 결정하는 모델을 구축하였다. 또한 기업이 금융시장에서의 차입계약이 산출물시장에서 시장균형과 경제후생에 미치는 영향에 대한 분석을 통하여 자기자본이 열악한 기업이 금융기관으로부터 유담보융자에 의해 차입을 실시하면 담보의 범위 내에서 신용을 받을 수 밖에 없는 차입제약에 직면하게 된다는 사실을 증명하였다. 따라서 기업이 생산요소인 자본재를 담보로 설정할 때 생산 요소의 투입비율에 왜곡현상이 발생하며 기업이 금리가 높은 무담보 융자에 의해 대출행위가 이루어지면 한계비용은 상승하기 때문에 기업은 자기이윤을 최대화하는 차입계약을 선택하게 된다. 그러나 기업이 차입계약을 선택할 경우 소비자와 경제전체에 바람직한 현상은 아니며 전체적으로 경제후생을 악화시킨다는 것이 본고의 이론분석을 통한 결과로 볼 수 있다.

Several studies have revealed that information on borrower characteristics plays an important factor in approving their credit requests. Though the extent to which such characteritics are also applicable to the case of fintech lending remain uncertain. The aim of this study is, thus, to investigate the determinant factors that influence MSEs in obtaining credit through fintech lending. Here, we emphasize virtual trust in fintech lending encompasing the dimension of social network, economic attributes, and risk perception based on several indicators that are used as proxies. Primary data used in the study was gathered from an online survey to the respondents of MSEs in Java. The result of the study indicates that determinants of MSEs in obtaining credit from lender through fintech lending are statistically influenced by internet usage activities, borrowing history, loan utilization, annuity payment system, completeness of credit requirement documents and compatibility of loan size with the business need. These factors have a significant effect on credit approval because they can generate virtual trust of fintech lender to MSEs as potential borrowers. It concludes that the probability of obtaining fintech loans in accordance with their expectations are influenced by the dimensions of social network, economic attributes and risk perception.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relation between conservative loan loss accounting practice of banks, defined as accounting behavior that increases loan loss allowances against expected credit losses, and bank lending. Furthermore, we specify the macroeconomic conditions reflecting debtors' borrowing environments and analyze how these conditions affect the relation between conservative loan loss allowances and bank lending. Although existing literature reports that accounting conservatism has a direct effect on non-financial firms' investment behavior, there is little evidence about an effect of conservatism on banks' lending behavior. By exploiting data showing the links between individual Japanese firms and their individual lenders to control both loan demand and supply, we estimate OLS regressions to test the relationships among conservative loan loss allowance, bank lending, and macroeconomic conditions using a unique dataset containing bank-firm-year observations between 2001 and 2013. We find banks that have conservative loan loss allowances tend to provide fewer loans to firms with financing needs when macroeconomic conditions are good and these conservative banks are likely to provide more loans to firms when macroeconomic conditions are bad. Our findings suggest that reflecting expected credit loss into loan loss allowances can mitigate the procyclical behavior of banks.

The first objective of this study is to examine the finanacial management practices of rural housewives. The second objective is to determine the effects of sociodemographic characteristics on financial management practices. The Deacon & Firebaugh's model of family resource management framework and previous studies were used to determine the effects, regarding a9e, income, number of family, education level, and farming/nonfarming as independent/input variables, and monthly saving and managerial behavior index as dependent/throughput variables. A sample of 179 rural housewives aged less than 60 was selected from Shihung-Si Gyonggi-Do Province. Results showed that rural housewives more frequently did keeping bills, making purchase-list and verifying purchase need than recording where money spent making financial plan, and evaluating spending. With regard to household debt use, 60% of the sample had debt the most borrower used debt for farming, 73% of borrowers paid for their debt behind the schedule, and the main source of borrowing was NACF (NongHyup). Using installment credit, the rural housewives mainly bought cosmetics. 25% of the sample had credit cards. Average debt was 6, 070, 000 won, and 81% of annual income. In terms of saving, 85% of the sample saved, and 23% of the sample lived with the money after save. The main reasons of saving were for education and marriage of children and emergency. The main saving institutions were NACF and NLCF (ChukHyup). The regression showed that income was negatively associated with monthly saving, and age was identified as the positive determinants of managerial behavior index.
