An empirical investigation of rationing constraints in rural credit markets in India
Open accessAbstract
The literature on rural credit markets has generally assumed that households are rationed in their access to subsidized ‘formal’ credit. The validity of this assumption depends on the level of effective demand for formal credit, in turn a function of the demand for credit and its availability from ‘informal’ sources. This paper estimates the demand and the sector-specific costs of credit, and hence the extent of formal sector rationing, through an analysis of household participation in both the formal and the informal credit sectors. The results show that the extent of rationing is considerably less than what is conventionally assumed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
