摘要
Stiglitz and Weiss (1981) show that firms considering risky projects have higher reservation interest rates and hence it is optimal for a bank to reduce loan supply. In this note we show that when the risk involved in an investment will be resolved in the future, investors with riskier projects have a greater return from waiting. More risky projects have lower reservation interest rates and hence there is no motive for banks to ration credit demand.
