Calculating the Gini Coefficient in the Two-Borrower Exclusion Model
The process for determining the Gini coefficient in the two-borrower exclusion scenario follows the same general procedure used for the full-participation model. The calculation begins with the specific income expressions for the lender, the three active borrowers, and the two excluded borrowers (who have zero income), as laid out in the relevant data table (Figure 9.19b).

Calculating the Gini Coefficient in the Two-Borrower Exclusion Model
Numerical Example: Gini Increase Due to Borrower Exclusion
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.

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.

Consider an economy with one lender and five potential borrowers. The lender provides funds to three of the borrowers, and each of these three projects generates a total income of 10 units. The other two borrowers are excluded from receiving funds and earn no income. The lender's agreement gives them a 50% share of the income from each funded project. Based on this distribution of income among all six individuals, what is the Gini coefficient for this economy?

Analyzing Inequality in a Credit Market with Exclusion
You are asked to calculate the Gini coefficient for an economy consisting of one lender and five potential borrowers. In this economy, two borrowers are unable to secure a loan and earn zero income, while the other three borrowers receive loans and generate income, which they share with the lender. Arrange the following steps into the correct sequence for calculating the Gini coefficient for this specific six-person economy.
Consider an economy with six individuals: one lender and five potential borrowers. The lender provides funds to three of the borrowers, while the other two are excluded and earn zero income. The total income generated from each of the three funded projects is 12 units.
True or False: If the lender's share of income from each funded project increases from 1/4 to 1/3, the Gini coefficient for this economy will decrease.
In an economy with one lender and five potential borrowers, three borrowers receive loans to fund projects that each generate a total income of 'Y'. The lender receives a share 's' of the income from each funded project. The remaining two borrowers are excluded and earn no income. Match each type of individual or concept in this economy to its correct income expression.
In an economy with one lender and five potential borrowers, two borrowers are excluded from the credit market and earn no income. The remaining three borrowers each receive a loan for a project that generates 20 units of total income. The lender's agreement specifies they receive a 25% share of the income from each funded project. The Gini coefficient for this six-person economy, rounded to two decimal places, is ____.
