Borrower Exclusion Increases Inequality for any Lender Share s < 1
In the one-lender, five-borrower model, excluding some borrowers from the credit market invariably increases economic inequality, as measured by the Gini coefficient. This principle is not limited to a specific case but is a general outcome that holds true for any scenario where the lender's share of income (s) is less than one ().

Borrower Exclusion Increases Inequality for any Lender Share s < 1
Consider a simplified economy with one lender and five potential borrowers. Initially, all five borrowers receive loans and earn an income from their respective projects. Now, imagine a change where the lender can only provide loans to three of the borrowers. The two excluded borrowers are unable to undertake their projects and consequently earn zero income. Assuming the total income generated by the three active projects is distributed only among the lender and those three borrowers, what is the direct consequence of this change on the overall income distribution in this six-person economy?

Analyzing Lender's Income Share in an Exclusionary Credit Market
In a one-lender, five-borrower model, if two borrowers are excluded from receiving loans and thus earn zero income, the overall income inequality in the economy is reduced because there are fewer borrowers sharing the project's profits with the lender.
Comparing Income Distributions in a Credit Market Model
In a simplified economic model with one lender and five potential borrowers, a scenario arises where only three borrowers can secure loans for their projects. Match each type of individual in this six-person economy to their corresponding economic outcome.

In an economic model with one lender and five potential borrowers, a situation arises where two borrowers are denied loans and cannot undertake their projects, while the other three receive loans. The lender receives a portion of the income from each of the three successful projects. Arrange the following groups in order of their income, from lowest to highest.

Policy Impact on Economic Inequality
The Link Between Credit Access and Wealth Distribution
Imagine a country where a significant portion of the population lacks the necessary assets to be approved for loans, preventing them from investing in potentially profitable small-scale projects. If the government introduces a program that successfully guarantees loans for these previously excluded individuals, what is the most probable effect on the country's overall economic inequality, assuming all other factors remain constant?
In an economic model featuring lenders and potential borrowers, it is observed that denying credit to a portion of the population typically increases income inequality. Which statement provides the most accurate explanation for this phenomenon?
In an economic model featuring lenders and potential borrowers who can invest in profitable projects, the complete exclusion of all potential borrowers from accessing credit will necessarily result in the highest possible level of income inequality for that economy.
Consider an economy where some individuals lack personal wealth but can borrow funds to invest in profitable ventures. Which of the following policy changes would most likely lead to the greatest increase in economic inequality?
