Do Banks Always Need to Know as Much as Possible about Borrowers?

Economists from HSE University have demonstrated that collecting as much information as possible about borrowers does not always decrease banks’ risks. Sometimes, more is not better: on the contrary, increasing the volume of data might increase the risks of loan defaults to a certain extent. The study was published in the WP BRP HSE University, Series: Financial Economics series of working papers.

A new paper by Maria Semenova and François Guillemin published in Annals of Finance

"Transparency and market discipline: evidence from the Russian interbank market", the paper by Maria Semenova, Senior Research Fellow at CInSt, and François Guillemin, former Postdoctoral Fellow at CInSt, was published in the recent issue of Annals of Finance.
