Case Study

Evaluating Policies to Reduce Income Inequality

You are an economic analyst examining a small credit market with one lender and five potential borrowers. Currently, two borrowers are excluded from receiving loans and earn zero income. The other three borrowers each receive a loan for a project that generates 100 units of income. The lender's agreement gives them a 40% share of the income from each funded project. Two policy proposals are on the table to reduce income inequality. Evaluate which proposal would be more effective at lowering the Gini coefficient for this six-person economy. You must justify your conclusion with calculations for both scenarios.
