Analyzing a Credit Market Policy
A government, concerned about high borrowing costs for consumers, implements a law that caps the maximum interest rate lenders can charge. Using a framework that considers both a borrower's trade-offs between consuming now versus later, and a lender's problem of dealing with potentially unobservable borrower actions, briefly explain one likely positive outcome for some borrowers and one likely negative, unintended outcome for the credit market as a whole.

Analyzing Credit Market Features
A common observation in credit markets is that individuals with limited assets or uncertain future income are often 'credit-excluded' or can only borrow at very high interest rates. Which statement best analyzes this situation using a framework that considers both the borrower's trade-offs over time and the lender's strategic challenges?
Match each real-world observation from credit markets to the economic model that provides the primary explanation for it.
The observation that lenders charge higher interest rates to borrowers with less collateral can be fully explained by a model of intertemporal choice, as it captures the borrower's trade-off between present and future consumption.
