Abstract: | Stiglitz and Weiss (1981) show that firms considering risky projects have higher reservation interest rates and hence it is optimal for a bank to reduce loan supply. In this note the authors show that when the risk involved in an investment will be resolved in the future, investors with riskier projects have a greater return from waiting. |
