Download or read book Financial Literacy and Subprime Mortgage Delinquency written by Kristopher Gerardi and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-10 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates whether a particular aspect of borrowers' financial literacy ¿ their numerical ability ¿ may have played a role in the subprime mortgage delinquency. The authors measure several aspects of financial literacy and cognitive ability in a survey of subprime mortgage borrowers who took out mortgages in 2006 or 2007 and match these measures to objective data on mortgage characteristics and repayment performance. They find a large and statistically significant negative correlation between numerical ability and various measures of delinquency and default. These results raise the possibility that limitations in certain aspects of financial literacy played an important role in the subprime mortgage crisis. Charts and tables.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exact cause of the massive defaults and foreclosures in the U.S. subprime mortgage market is still unclear. This paper investigates whether a particular aspect of borrowers' financial literacy - their numerical ability - may have played a role. We measure several aspects of financial literacy and cognitive ability in a survey of subprime mortgage borrowers who took out mortgages in 2006 or 2007 and match these measures to objective data on mortgage characteristics and repayment performance. We find a large and statistically significant negative correlation between numerical ability and various measures of delinquency and default. Foreclosure starts are approximately two-thirds lower in the group with the highest measured level of numerical ability compared with the group with the lowest measured level. The result is robust to controlling for a broad set of sociodemographic variables and not driven by other aspects of cognitive ability or the characteristics of the mortgage contracts. Our results raise the possibility that limitations in certain aspects of financial literacy played an important role in the subprime mortgage crisis.
Book Synopsis Financial Literacy and Mortgage Payment Delinquency? by : Tran Huynh
Download or read book Financial Literacy and Mortgage Payment Delinquency? written by Tran Huynh and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates the causal effect of financial literacy on mortgage payment delinquency. Using an Instrumental-Variable (IV) approach, we find that increased financial literacy significantly reduces the probability of mortgage delinquency. The identified causal effect is robust to different specifications of the IV and cannot be explained by formal education, income, and many other individual characteristics. Our study also examines the heterogeneity of the impact across various demographic groups. We find that the effect of financial literacy on delinquency likelihood is negative and significantly different from zero for any age, gender, income, or education level. However, the magnitude of the effect decreases with age and is higher in states where the population's financial literacy is low, as compared with high-literate states.
Book Synopsis The Effects of Financial Literacy Overconfidence on the Mortgage Delinquency of US Households by : Kyoung Tae Kim
Download or read book The Effects of Financial Literacy Overconfidence on the Mortgage Delinquency of US Households written by Kyoung Tae Kim and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the effect of objective and subjective financial literacy on mortgage payment delinquency using the 2015 National Financial Capability Study dataset. A hierarchical model showed a substantial negative effect of objective literacy on delinquency, but subjective literacy did not have a significant effect. The predicted likelihood of delinquency at the 10th percentile of objective literacy was over three times as high as the likelihood at the 90th percentile. In a model with combinations of high or low objective and subjective financial literacy, those who were overconfident had a delinquency likelihood three times as high as those who had high objective and subjective literacy. Subjective literacy had substantial effects on delinquency both for high and for low objective literacy levels. In financial education, attention should be focused not only on objective learning, but also making sure consumers are aware of the limitations of their understanding.

Book Synopsis How Does Financial Literacy Affect Mortgage Default? by : Sumit Agarwal
Download or read book How Does Financial Literacy Affect Mortgage Default? written by Sumit Agarwal and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper uses a dataset from one of the leading subprime lenders in America, containing detailed information on borrower and loan characteristics, finds that borrowers from the financial industry, who have higher financial literacy, are less likely to default. This effect cannot be explained by borrower characteristics such as income and education, loan terms, property characteristics, or geographic effects. We also find there are variations in this effect of financial literacy for different types of borrowers or different kinds of loans. Our results indicate that financial literacy plays an important part in repayment behavior and have helpful policy implications.
Book Synopsis Comparing Patterns of Default Among Prime and Subprime Mortgages by : Gene Amromin
Download or read book Comparing Patterns of Default Among Prime and Subprime Mortgages written by Gene Amromin and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-01 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article compares default patterns among prime and subprime mortgages, analyzes the factors correlated with default, and examines how forecasts of defaults are affected by alternative assumptions about trends in home prices. The authors find that extremely pessimistic forecasts of home price appreciation could have generated predictions of subprime defaults that were closer to the actual default experience for loans originated in 2006 and 2007. However, for prime loans one would have also had to anticipate that defaults would become much more sensitive to home prices. Tables and graphs.
Book Synopsis Essays on Mortgage Broker, Borrower, and Lender Behavior in the Subprime Mortgage Market by : James Conklin
Download or read book Essays on Mortgage Broker, Borrower, and Lender Behavior in the Subprime Mortgage Market written by James Conklin and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation presents three essays on the behavior of mortgage brokers, borrowers, and lenders in the subprime mortgage market. In the first essay, I examine the relationship between the type of broker-borrower interaction in the origination process and subsequent mortgage performance. I show that face-to-face interaction between a mortgage broker and borrower before the loan funds is associated with lower levels of ex post default. This relation holds only for loans that have certain characteristics associated with low levels of financial literacy. Specifically, face-to-face interaction is negatively related to default for minorities, borrowers located in areas with low levels of education, low-income borrowers, and borrowers with low FICO scores. Additionally, a face-to-face meeting between the mortgage broker and the borrower is associated with lower default rates on cash-out loans, which brokers often originated as "credit-repair" loans. Moreover, the relation between default and broker-borrower interaction is significant only for certain loan products (ARMs, low-doc) that have been linked to low levels of financial literacy. Taken together, these results suggest that face-to-face interaction between the mortgage broker and borrower may reduce problems associated with financial illiteracy.In the second essay I explore differences in low-doc mortgages across employment types. Evidence suggests that stated income documentation mortgages, or "liars' loans," are used to falsify income so that borrowers can obtain mortgages that would be deemed unaffordable by traditional underwriting standards. By examining differences in stated income loans across employment types (e.g. self-employed versus W2 borrowers), I show that not all lies are created equal. My results demonstrate that high default rates for stated income loans are driven by W2 borrowers. For self-employed borrowers, default is not significantly related to the level of income documentation. Also, I find that income falsification is problematic only on stated income loans to W2 borrowers. In addition, I provide evidence that selection effects before the loan funds, at both the lender and borrower level, exist on stated income loans. Taken together, the results indicate that important differences exist between stated income loans to W2 borrowers versus low-doc loans to self-employed borrowers.The third essay investigates real earnings management in the context of the residential mortgage market. Specifically, I try to determine if the lender originates lower quality loans to meet earnings benchmarks. My results are consistent with the lender lowering origination standards to manipulate earnings. Depending on the specification, loans originated in the final month of income constrained quarters are 27% - 34% more likely to default, ceteris paribus. Furthermore, expected default rates, based on ex ante risk characteristics observable at origination, are higher in the final month of income constrained quarters. In addition, I try to detect how the lender manipulates its activities in the final month of quarters where it meets or just beats earnings expectations. The results indicate the lender is less likely to reject loan applications when it is in jeopardy of meeting earnings expectations.

Book Synopsis Financial Literacy and Mortgage Credit by : Xudong An
Download or read book Financial Literacy and Mortgage Credit written by Xudong An and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We use a novel approach to calculate individual “financial literacy score” for a large set of California mortgage borrowers and then investigate the relation between financial literacy and mortgage outcomes. We find borrowers with low financial literacy are more likely to accept riskier mortgages and have mortgages with disadvantageous characteristics, ceteris paribus. In addition, they pay a higher rate, are less likely to take advantage of advantageous prepayment opportunities, and are more likely to default. Our estimates show that financial literacy is economically significant where mortgage outcomes are concerned. Our lower-bound estimate is that converting low literacy borrowers into high literacy borrowers would lead to $460 million in reduced mortgage payments annually in California due to reduced borrowing cost. Other reasonable scenarios yield savings exceeding $2 billion annually. Further, with improved financial literacy, borrowers would be 25 to 50 percent less likely to have the “toxic” short-term adjustable rate mortgages that contributed to the broader housing crisis. Our results argue for serious consideration of how best to improve financial literacy, as opposed to whether efforts should be made to improve financial literacy.

Book Synopsis Subprime Mortgage Credit Derivatives by : Laurie S. Goodman
Download or read book Subprime Mortgage Credit Derivatives written by Laurie S. Goodman and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-06-02 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mortgage credit derivatives are a risky business, especially of late. Written by an expert author team of UBS practitioners-Laurie Goodman, Shumin Li, Douglas Lucas, and Thomas Zimmerman-along with Frank Fabozzi of Yale University, Subprime Mortgage Credit Derivatives covers state-of-the-art instruments and strategies for managing a portfolio of mortgage credits in today's volatile climate. Divided into four parts, this book addresses a variety of important topics, including mortgage credit (non-agency, first and second lien), mortgage securitizations (alternate structures and subprime triggers), credit default swaps on mortgage securities (ABX, cash synthetic relationships, CDO credit default swaps), and much more. In addition, the authors outline the origins of the subprime crisis, showing how during the 2004-2006 period, as housing became less affordable, origination standards were stretched-and when home price appreciation then turned to home price depreciation, defaults and delinquencies rose across the board. The recent growth in subprime lending, along with a number of other industry factors, has made the demand for timely knowledge and solutions greater than ever before, and this guide contains the information financial professionals need to succeed in this challenging field.
Book Synopsis Making Sense of the Subprime Crisis by : Kristopher S. Gerardi
Download or read book Making Sense of the Subprime Crisis written by Kristopher S. Gerardi and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. Explores the question of whether market participants could have or should have anticipated the large increase in foreclosures that occurred in 2007 and 2008. Most of these foreclosures stemmed from loans originated in 2005 and 2006, leading many to suspect that lenders originated a large volume of extremely risky loans during this period. While loans originated in this period did carry extra risk factors, underwriting standards alone cannot explain the dramatic rise in foreclosures. Market participants should have understood that a significant fall in prices would cause a large increase in foreclosures. Analysts understood that a fall in prices would have disastrous consequences for the market but assigned a low probability to such an outcome. Charts and tables.
