| Abstract: | The authors present a model of an unsecured loan market. Many lenders offer loan contracts to a borrower. The borrower may accept more than one contract. Lenders earn a positive profit, and may even charge the monopoly price. The positive-profit equilibria are robust to increases in the number of lenders. Despite the absence of asymmetric information, the competitive outcome does not obtain in the limit. |
