Analysis of Enhancement of Consumer’s Consumption by Microcredit Regulations from the Perspective of Legal Economics

As the Chinese economy continues its development, so develops the consumption level of its consumers. The expanding consumption demand creates a contradiction to the relatively invariable income level, increasingly leading to Chinese consumers to utilize microcredit to help pay for their short-term consumptions. Microcredit can influence the behavior of urban resident consumption, and by regulating microcredit, authorities can adjust and regulate the consumption habits and patterns. A well-regulated microcredit system that protects consumers can enhance economic growth and provide an overhaul to consumption structure through increased consumption. This Article focuses to analyze the enhancement of urban resident consumption by microcredit regulations from the perspective of legal economics, studies the impact of microcredit on urban resident consumption, the change in consumption patterns in a regulated microcredit system, and theorize the economic necessity of a regulated microcredit system. This Article utilizes Resident Consumption Function Theory to analyze the relationship between consumer’s expected future income and current income, the result helps this Article understand the urban resident income status when taking microcredits. The growth of microcredit in China has increased significantly in recent years, from 12.4% a year in 2015 to 63.9% a year in 2020. With the rapid expansion of microcredit, so expands its proportion in the overall financial credit market, from 6.4% in 2015 to 16.3% in 2020, becoming increasingly an important influence of urban residence behavior and consumption pattern. By analyzing the yearly development of microcredit, this Article proposes that the microcredit market is growing in importance in the overall Chinese financial system, and a well-regulated microcredit system which protects urban residence is necessary for the future economic development of China.

Financial Liberalization and the Development of Microcredit

We analyze the debt origination process in which a lender offers prospective borrowers a microcredit product alongside a traditional bank loan, and the impact anti-usury mandates can cause within this credit market. This is a paper about the prospects of financial liberalization following a more flexible determination of anti-usury rates and, with it, the development of a formal microcredit market. In the presence of asymmetric information, a lender assesses a borrower's credit worthiness via a screening process, which its effectiveness is negatively affected by the opaqueness of the borrower's financial information. For this economy, an equilibrium is possible where all opaque borrowers, regardless of their true riskiness, are rationed from credit where usury rates are exogenously set too low by regulatory authorities. Were the anti-usury mandate was relaxed, these borrowers would have the option of financing through microcredit.

Diagnosis of Organizational Soft Problems in a Peruvian Financial Institution by Systemic Thinking

Managing financial institutions in an underdeveloped economic context has become a real challenge nowadays. In order to reach the organization’s planned goals, they have to deal with structural, behavioral and informational problems. From the systemic point of view, this situation gets even worse when the company does not present organizational boundaries and a cohesive identification for their stakeholders. Thus, European countries have some special financial lines in order to help the development of micro credit in Latin communities in an attempt to help the local economy. However, institutions like Caixa dos Andes in Peru present management problems when dealing with this complexity. Based on this, how can the systemic eye help in the diagnosis of soft problems of a Peruvian financial company? This study aims to diagnose soft problems of a Peruvian financial company based on soft variables like identity, communication and autonomy and also intends to identify possible ways to redesign its basic framework. The (VSM––Viable System Model) method from Beer (1967), applied in this diagnostic study, was used in a practical way as a management tool for organizations’ analysis and planning. By describing the VSM’s five systems, the creation of a systemic vision or a total vision is possible, showing the organization’s complexity from the inside. Some company’s soft problems like double control, inefficient use of physical and human resources, low information flows, slowness, etc. The VSM presented an organizational diagnosis indicating effective solutions that do integrate its five systems.
