摘要

This Special Issue consists of five studies. In the first of these, "Banks and Payday Lenders: Friends or Foes?" Barth, Hilliard, and Jahera observe that banks and payday lenders do not cater to the same customers. Banks typically serve moderately and higher income individuals as well as small and medium size enterprises. Payday lenders, on the other hand, typically serve lower income individuals. The biggest difference, however, given this difference in customers, is that payday lenders charge interest rates that are 30 to 80 times those charged by banks. This paper investigates the geographic distribution of payday lenders versus banks throughout the nation using county level data for all 50 states during the past decade, inclusive of the pre-crisis and post-crisis periods. The analysis takes into account differences in economic factors and demographic characteristics across the counties, permitting an assessment as to whether demographic characteristics are important determinants of the number of payday lenders relative to banks after taking into account economic factors. Moreover, the analysis examines the relationship between the number of payday lenders and community and smaller banks in counties to determine whether the geographical distribution of payday lenders versus banks is different for small banks as compared to big banks. Based upon the empirical findings, the paper discusses various policy options that may make credit available to lower income individuals at lower interest rates in contrast to the current situation.
