Abstract

This paper specifies the ways information problems are solved in direct micro-credit institution. The concept of pre-default is built to preserve banking secrecy while allowing the performance of appropriate econometric tests on a typical micro-credit institution. A logit model has identified the determinants of pre-default. The findings support generally those found in the literature. However, the long-term relationship does not reduce pre-default. This fact is seemingly advantageous for both parties : the debtor is no longer obliged to pay exactly at falling due and the micro-banker receives a rescheduling commission without any marginal cost.
