Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the optimal combination of the levels of perceived risk and screening capacity that maximizes the fair value of a mortgage bank, while considering the probability of bank failure and the distribution borrower's wealth across emerging and developed countries. This is a novel contribution to the current literature that does not address that optimal combination and its dependency on the distribution borrower's wealth.
