Well, during the current credit crisis, lending on the interbank market nearly came to a halt because Banks did not trust lending to each other.

So can someone use information economics to improve my understanding of what happened?

We’ve seen a possible solution to the problem is having the government provide guarantees for loans in the interbank market. But what are the limits of this approach, again, in the light of information economics?

My boyfriend wanted to take out a loan with second chance lending and make it seem like it was all good, but then I researched them and found out that it was a fraud before he actually send them any money or anything, but the thing is this dummy already gave this his SSN and State ID!!! Do you think they will use those in a certain way? I mean he doesn’t have money or credit, but is there a way that they can still use that information against him?

Immoral Hazard asked:


If these institutions are already receiving tax payer funds, why would they take any risk by lending?
Why would they bother to do business. Since they’re already reaping rewards by not taking any risk, why take any risk?
