Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1997, this volume features a wealth of contributions discussing mortgage lending discrimination and the role of the FHA, fair lending enforcement and the Decatur case, along with the future of mortgage discrimination research. This key civil rights debate in the wake of the Fair Housing Act 25 years prior is evaluated and clarified through rigorous review of fair lending research, applied projects and enforcement activities to date. It argues forcefully that the right to take out a mortgage to buy a home should be conditioned only upon one’s credit worthiness and not on one’s race or ethnic group.

Download or read book Discrimination in Mortgage Lending written by Robert Schafer and published by MIT Press (MA). This book was released on 1981 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book substitutes rigorous and systematic analysis for the undocumented claims that have characterized the debate on "redlining"--the denial of mortgage money to poorer neighborhoods. In addition, Schafer and Ladd discuss discrimination against individuals, appraisal practices, and the likelihood of default, analyze recent policy decisions, and recommend a range of new policies. The thorough documentation that supports this analysis was obtained through an examination of individual mortgage applications--denials as well as approvals--in New York and California, the only two states in which such data is available, its disclosure mandated under state law.One of the book's major findings is that discrimination in home financing is based far more on an individual's race than on the location of the property--that although the redlining debate has turned on the issue of geographic discrimination, the underlying reality is one of racial discrimination, and individuals are more often the targets than are neighborhoods.After an introductory chapter, "Discrimination in Mortgage Lending" takes up default risk in mortgage lending, appraisal practices, the flow of funds, lending decision models, the decision to lend in California, mortgage credit terms in California, the decision to lend in New York, mortgage credit terms in New York, a summary of results, and recommendations.

Download or read book Mortgage Lending Discrimination and Racial Differences in Loan Default written by Stephen L. Ross and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper performs a theoretical analysis of the use of racial differences in loan default to test for mortgage lending discrimination. The default approach has received considerable attention in the press and in academic arenas, and yet the theory underlying this approach has not been carefully explored. The loan process is thought to create a selected sample of loans. If mortgage lenders discriminate by holding minorities to a higher standard, the sample selection bias in the minority sample of loans will be more extreme than the bias in the majority sample, and the sample of minority loans should exhibit lower default rates than the majority sample. This paper examines the default approach explicitly in this sample selection framework and observes that the approach suffers from heteroscedasticity bias because loan defaults are a discrete dependent variable. In addition, the paper examines the impact of correlations between race and the unobservables in the loan approval and default equations. Both of these correlations are shown to bias the default approach away from finding discrimination under the standard assumptions.

Book excerpt: One troubling finding of researchers analyzing the Stafford Loan program is the high incidence of default among African-Americans. Moreover, other studies have shown that blacks are often discriminated against in obtaining home mortgage loans. Typically, borrowing and repayment decisions within the sectors of the credit market are analyzed in isolation. This paper, however, links the default decision in the student loan market to borrowing expectations in the mortgage home loan market. Given that the primary cost of not repaying one's educational loan is a damaged credit record, for those students who expect to be discriminated against in the credit market following their schooling, this cost is ineffective. This paper reveals economically that African-American Student loan borrowers have made an economically rational decision when they choose to default on their educational loans because they foresee themselves to be excluded from obtaining home mortgage loans whether they repay their student loans or not.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addresses concerns raised about concentrations of Federal Housing Authority (FHA) defaults in neighborhoods & among lenders in a 1997 study by the Nat. Training Info. Center. The 1st phase of the report culminated with a March 1998 report which examined whether FHA defaults were concentrated among a group of high-default neighborhoods & high-default lenders. The 2nd phase of the study replicated a number of the initial analyses with the addition of credit history data. This report combines the 1st phase findings with the new 2nd phase findings. As expected, the updated analysis shows that high default neighborhoods & lenders have more borrowers with poor credit.
Download or read book Guaranteed to Fail written by Viral V. Acharya and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-14 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why America's public-private mortgage giants threaten the world economy—and what to do about it The financial collapse of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 2008 led to one of the most sweeping government interventions in private financial markets in history. The bailout has already cost American taxpayers close to $150 billion, and substantially more will be needed. The U.S. economy--and by extension, the global financial system--has a lot riding on Fannie and Freddie. They cannot fail, yet that is precisely what these mortgage giants are guaranteed to do. How can we limit the damage to our economy, and avoid making the same mistakes in the future? Guaranteed to Fail explains how poorly designed government guarantees for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac led to the debacle of mortgage finance in the United States, weighs different reform proposals, and provides sensible, practical recommendations. Despite repeated calls for tougher action, Washington has expanded the scope of its guarantees to Fannie and Freddie, fueling more and more housing and mortgages all across the economy--and putting all of us at risk. This book unravels the dizzyingly immense, highly interconnected businesses of Fannie and Freddie. It proposes a unique model of reform that emphasizes public-private partnership, one that can serve as a blueprint for better organizing and managing government-sponsored enterprises like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In doing so, Guaranteed to Fail strikes a cautionary note about excessive government intervention in markets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Financial Crisis Inquiry Report, published by the U.S. Government and the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission in early 2011, is the official government report on the United States financial collapse and the review of major financial institutions that bankrupted and failed, or would have without help from the government. The commission and the report were implemented after Congress passed an act in 2009 to review and prevent fraudulent activity. The report details, among other things, the periods before, during, and after the crisis, what led up to it, and analyses of subprime mortgage lending, credit expansion and banking policies, the collapse of companies like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the federal bailouts of Lehman and AIG. It also discusses the aftermath of the fallout and our current state. This report should be of interest to anyone concerned about the financial situation in the U.S. and around the world.THE FINANCIAL CRISIS INQUIRY COMMISSION is an independent, bi-partisan, government-appointed panel of 10 people that was created to "examine the causes, domestic and global, of the current financial and economic crisis in the United States." It was established as part of the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act of 2009. The commission consisted of private citizens with expertise in economics and finance, banking, housing, market regulation, and consumer protection. They examined and reported on "the collapse of major financial institutions that failed or would have failed if not for exceptional assistance from the government."News Dissector DANNY SCHECHTER is a journalist, blogger and filmmaker.
