摘要
This paper studies a duopolistic credit market in which borrowers differ in risk. In our competition game, one lender is in an advantaged position with respect to the other due to past relations with the borrowers. We investigate the features of the equilibrium contract and show that the best borrower is indifferent between the dominant and the opponent lenders' contract while the other borrowers prefer that of the dominant lender. Also, repayment and collateral do not depend upon the borrowers' respective project risk. © Springer-Verlag 2008.
