A model of pairwise credit
Article Abstract:
Credit transactions have been depicted at pair-wise activities which have several readily observable characteristics. These characteristics include the existence of trust and a strong sense of mutualism between debtors and creditors. It was also observed that credit transactions facilitate trade and that as the number of debtors increases, creditors increasingly try to ration credit.
