Price Uncertainty and Credit-Product Interlinkage: A Note
Posted: 27 Jan 2002
Abstract
In the existing theoretical literature on credit-product interlinkage, the trader (interlocker) is not allowed to offer a Fixed-Rental Contract (FRC) where the trader leases-in land from the farmer in exchange of a fixed rent for self-cultivation. But if the trader is allowed to offer an FRC, then the existence and optimality of an interlinked credit-product contract cannot be established. This note purports to provide an explanation for the existence and optimality of an interlinked credit-product contract, even when the trader is allowed to offer an FRC, introducing price uncertainty in the product market.
