摘要
Analysis of data from the 2008 Survey of Chinese Consumer Finance and Investor Education indicated that 30.0 % of the sample households held at least one credit card. Significant factors associated with the probability that an urban Chinese individual would hold a credit card included income, age, education, occupation, and awareness of credit card risks, default consequences, the credit system, and that late payments increase interest. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
