Influence of heuristics in bank managers' lending decisions to small businesses
Published 1995“…Traditionally, banks are the major source of external finance for small businesses.The bank funds are needed to finance the day-to-day operations, purchase of capital equipment, and building needs.The small businesses do have access to the capital market, especially where equity finance is concerned,and thus rely heavily on bank loans for both short- and long-term needs.When granting loans to small businesses, bankers make decisions under conditions of uncertainty and asymmetry of information (Binks et al, 1992) Under these conditions, one party has certain pieces of information that have a material effect on a contract, but not the other party, and such a situation can give rise to a twin problem of moral hazard and adverse selection.In the former situation, the issue arises where the action of a small business borrower is not directly observable by the banker once he or she obtains the loan.This borrower may use the funds for other purposes which are personally profitable, but may be detrimental to the banker.In an adverse selection situation, a banker cannot distinguish between the good risk and the bad risk borrowers.A small business owner when approaching the bank for a loan has always an informational advantage over the banker, which leads him (the business owner) to overstate the soundness of his business proposition in relation to the funding sought.This problem sometimes affects the willingness of banks to enter into contracts to supply the needed funds to small businesses.The problem of adverse selection often lead bankers to commit errors in their decisions on lending to small businesses. …”
