Information Sharing in Credit Markets: International Evidence
Are public credit registers appropriate?
39 pages
This study constructs a new international data set on credit bureaus and public credit registers. Examines why central banks supplement private arrangements by creating public credit registers and distribution of information about borrowers' credit histories. It concludes that public intervention is more likely where creditor rights are poorly protected and private arrangements have not arisen spontaneously.
