Abstract
This work examines the performance of joint-liability loans, compared with individual loans, in online P2P lending. We show that, with all else being equal, joint-type loans are less likely to default. However, they don’t get lower interest rates. This result suggests that the loan-type (joint-liability or individual), which has the potential to be a source of “soft information”, is not priced in online lending.
