Softening competition by inducing switching in credit markets

We show that competing banks relax overall competition by inducing borrowers to switch lenders.

description We show that competing banks relax overall competition by inducing borrowers to switch lenders. We illustrate our findings in a two-period model with adverse selection where banks strategically commit to disclosing borrower information.

This dampens competition for serving the first-period market. Reprinted by permission of Blackwell Publishers
