https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2020/12/staff-working-paper-2020-57/
When lenders cannot directly identify behavioural and rational borrowers, they use type scoring to track the likelihood of a borrower’s type. This leads to the partial pooling of borrowers, which results in rational borrowers subsidizing borrowing costs for behavioural borrowers. This, in turn, reduces the effectiveness of regulatory policies that target mistakes by behavioural borrowers.2020-12-30T08:51:56+00:00enConsumer Credit with Over-optimistic Borrowers2020-12-30Credit and credit aggregatesCredit risk managementFinancial system regulation and policiesStaff Analytical Note 2020-57https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/swp2020-57.pdfStaff Analytical Note 2020-57Florian ExlerIgor LivshitsJames (Jim) C.

In a cashless economy, would the private sector invest in the optimal level of safety in a deposit-based payment system? In general, because of externalities, the answer is no. While the private sector could over- or under-invest in safety, the government can use taxes or subsidies to correct private incentives.2020-12-11T07:54:12+00:00enSafe Payments2020-12-11Central bank researchDigital currencies and fintechFinancial institutionsPayment clearing and settlement systemsStaff Working Paper 2020-53https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/swp2020-53.pdfSafe PaymentsJonathan ChiuMohammad DavoodalhosseiniJanet Hua JiangYu ZhuDecember 2020EE4E42E5E50GG2G21
