Explaining the pattern of secured credit
Article Abstract:
Scholarship on the purposes of and uses for secured credit should be grounded in empirical data that describes how businesses actually use secured credit. Prior analysis has mistakenly attempted to devise a singular theory for explaining the use of secured debt. The factors used by borrowers and lenders in their decision-making are more complex. A multivariate approach helps to explain the benefits that accrue to lenders when collateral is used. The analysis also demonstrates that large corporations and suppliers do not approach finance uniformly.
