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.

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.
