Durkin ... [et al.] 210 $aNew York [etc.]$cOxford University press$d2014 215 $aXXI, 710 p.$d24 cm 330 $aConsumer Credit and the American Economy examines the economics, behavioral science, sociology, history, institutions, law, and regulation of consumer credit in the United States. After discussing the origins and various kinds of consumer credit available in today's marketplace, this book reviews at some length the long run growth of consumer credit to explore the widely held belief that somehow consumer credit has risen'too fast for too long.'It then turns to demand and supply with chapters discussing neoclassical theories of demand, new behavioral economics, and evidence on production costs and why consumer credit might seem expensive compared to some other kinds of credit like government finance. This discussion includes review of the economics of risk management and funding sources, as well discussion of the economic theory of why some people might be limited in their credit search, the phenomenon of credit rationing. This examination includes review of issues of risk management through mathematical methods of borrower screening known as credit scoring and financial market sources of funding for offerings of consumer credit. The book then discusses technological change in credit granting. It examines how modern automated information systems called credit reporting agencies, or more popularly'credit bureaus,'reduce the costs of information acquisition and permit greater credit availability at less cost. 410 1$1001VAN0107287$12001 $aFinancial Management Association Survey and Synthesis Series$1210 $aNew York$cOxford University press. 606 $aConsumer credit$xGovernment policy$xUnited States$3VANC032780$2EC 606 $aConsumer credit$xUnited States$3VANC032781$2EC 620 $aUS$dNew York$3VANL000011 676 $a332.743$v21 702 1$aDurkin$bThomas A.$3VANV082826 712 $aOxford university $3VANV107944$4650 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20230616$gRICA 856 4 $uhttp://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=1201524$zE-book ?
